i am running a 205/40/17. I am saving up so i can put some 18's on but from what i heard i needs some spacers and i need to roll the fenders so we will see. i just noticed but the pics make the rims look really small for some reason. lol

Looks good.

What width/offset are you planning on getting with the 18s?

im not sure yet. i am trying to go as wide as possible for this car so i can get a bigger lip. there is a guy on this forum that is running a 18x8.5 in the front with 18x9.5 in the back with 45 offset front 50 back. i love the way his looked so i might be pushing for that.

1.6 front and 1.8 back but i swear its lower than that. even with 17's i still have no wheel gap. i dont think they are rated right

Stock size is 205/50/17 but your running 205/40/17. It will through your speedometer off by 6.4% base on what the tire size calculator says.
