Default 18 x 8.5 rims

Hi guys,

I'm planning to put 18x8.5 rims on the S, but retain stock springs. Will they fit properly without creating problems, like rubbing against the fenderwells, sticking outward, or lose drivability, handling, and acceleration. Please let me know. Thanks a lot!

On the rear the 18X8.5 is no problem. You just have to get an offset that is correct for the car.
If I can help let me know.

18x8.5 will fit fine in the rear but don't go wider than 18x8 for the front they will rub on lock even with correct offset

Jim, do you carry Diablo D271 wheels? Do I need to call you on the phone? I'm in the process of buying wheels and tires, and maybe you could help me. Do you get us special prices on this board, or are they (prices) the same for everyone? Does Tire Rack match or beat others' prices? Please let me know. Thanks!

I have 18x8.5 in the rear and 18x7.5 in the front. There is no rubbing at all. I would recomend that for you.
