Default Fitment and Tire Help!

Hello all! I am planning on copping these babies and Im wondering what wheel size and offset (I was looking at running 18x8+35/18x9+35 all around but I am not sure) would fit best on stock quarters (with necessary modification of course) and also what tire size would compliment them perfectly. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

215/40/18 fronts and 245/35/18 rears. Full roll and tab relo is a must. As for tire compound a Max summer tire like federal 595ss or evo v12 is more than enough since you won't tracking with these.

I don't know. Depends on camber. Play with this and it will tell you how much further out these will be than oem.

Manga_Spawn, if one would want to stretch the aforementioned wheel, would it be possible? I'm looking to achieve something like this.

Sorry that's just stupid and frankly dangerous so if that's what your after you'll have to ask someone else as I won't make suggestions that could be dangerous. Also you stretch the tire not the wheel.

I must thank you for the honesty. I am a wheel noob so I've just been exploring styles and what not. Glad to know what to steer away from now.

Glad you are open to advise. Enjoy your car some before jumping and buying wheels. The car is great with oem wheel and good tires. You can make a lot of mistakes with wheels so take your time.
