Still needs a fender roll but it is a lot more doable and you can fit much better tires. For those I would run 225/40/18 front and either 245/35/18 rear or 255/35/18 the 255 would need a little more camber but still doable.
Worse than the last set you just asked about and XXR is truly garbage. Slow down. Take your time find the set of wheels you like and buy them or wait and save till you can buy them.
Im selling my personal set if you are interested! WedsSports SA-15R in Gunmetallic Black Clear. Specs:
18x8.5 +48 Front / 18x9.5 +48 Rear
I ran them with 235/40 Front and 265/35 Rear. These will require a roll and rear bumper tab relocation. But these are made in Japan and of much higher quality than the ones you have posted.
Shoot me a PM if interested. Will come with Flat Carbon center caps and valve stems.
What they said, take your time. Having a stock car isn't going to kill you. Just enjoy the car as it is, learn its fine details slowly and then you will better appreciate the mods you make. There are several decent quality wheels that can be made to fit the car stock fender very easily with proper tire sizes and a couple of others that shouldn't take too much work at all. They aren't much more expensive than the prices you're looking at and start at around $900-$1000 for a set. Relying on stretching tires to fit a wheel shouldn't be a consideration at all with this car. A little bit of stretch is fine as it takes out the slack from the side wall and squares off the shoulders for more tread width. However, excessive stretch reduces compliance which means grip drops off more sharply and transitions will be excessively fast/harsh and cause push. The tire itself is part of your suspension rate and acts as an un damped spring. You want a certain "band width of grip" and linearity so that you can feel it out and control it. Basically, what's the point of a corner carver without proper handling?
