Would 18X12 Gram Lights fit? What Mods?

I'd like to put Gram lights 57F-Pro's 18X12 on the rear and 18X9 on the front on my car and I was wondering what type of modification and offeset is needed to put on a 3rd gen. Let me know if you have any Idea.

Any Ideas?

Fender flares would be a start. There is no way they will fit on the stock fenders. Im sure the more knowledgeable members will chime in shortly.

An offset of -2mm will not fit even with widebody flares. Why do you want/need such a wide rear wheel?

18X12

I like the way it looks, it makes it look pretty mean. I like the way Cam's (pettit's) car looks. I don't the flares. I'm sure there are some better ones out there.

Biggest you can get in the rear is an 11" wheel, but you likely won't be able to buy an off the shelf offset... you'll need a custom one from CCW, Fikse, or Forgeline like Cam's....

It'll take trailing arms, coilovers, and fender rolling/massaging to do it. Plan to spend some money.
