Whats up everyone, I got yet another question, I want to run some 18" xd9's with no fender roll at all and no pulling or custom work. I would like to keep my camber as close to stock as possible and want to know what rims can I run front and rear and what offsets? I would love to run as LOW offset as I possibly can with 18" xd9's or rota grids. (Yea i changed my mind on rims lol) I'm still on stock height for the car and don't care about lowering it at all. I just want some very nice all white rims with a nice look, as low offset as possible with no modifications and have some clearance between tire and body. I basically wanna have as much of a smooth/comfortable ride as possible. Any suggestions on rims (xd9's or rota grids) and tire sizes? Right now I'm just running stock ap2v2's on my ap1. No drop, (yet) I want to drop it as much as I can but still have clearance and a smooth ride with no rubbing and no mods. Any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.

Please do not confuse running as LOW offsets as possible with a more aggressive/flush look. 9" wheels with +50 offset will put the lip at the same location flushnesswise as 7" wheels with +25 offset, while also allowing 20-30mm wider tires. Super-low offsets for the sake of super-low offsets, and at the expense of wheel and tire width, is not a good idea for performance, handling feel (super-low offset => super-high scrub radius) or for looks. So don't fixate on OFFSET!

You are severely limiting your options without a fender roll. I'd say the absolute lowest offset you could go is about +50 on a 8"/9" staggered setup with 225/255 tires. That is at stock height, if you lower the car at all then you would need even higher offsets - almost stock. The rear fender has a huge inner lip, you can't even get close to flush when lowered without a roll. Honestly, I think AP2V2 will look better than 18's on a stock height car. I think I have seen them powdercoated white before, looked pretty good for a stock wheel.

Yeah you really can't go any more aggressive than stock if you are not willing to roll the fenders. Also at stock height the lower the offset and wider the wheel you get the more poke you will have and it will look Mexiflush. Basically your options are roll your fenders or stay with stock or very close to stock wheels.
