Your after market rims on stock suspension

[oakley990099]

i am looking to buy new rims for after this winter season shortly. only problem is i am going to be staying on the stock suspension for quite awhile due to the places i have to drive for work and obviously the money issue.
i have been looking at multiple threads and pictures to get ideas but the only problem is that a ms3 dropped with rims almost always looks a ton better.

so if anyone with stock suspension still and aftermarket rims could post some pictures thatd be great!
thanks!

they're all 18"

the black and rx8s were wrapped w/ 225/40/18 nexen3000
the xxr522 has hankook evo v12s on them...same size rubber.

no rubbing whatsoever.

i almost went ahead and drop the car w/ h&r springs but the winter seasons (+ the road conditions) here can be harsh sometimes. it's something that you might really wanna give it a thought especially if it's your dd.

Those pics were with the factory 215-45 tires and I've since changed them to 235-40. It looks a little better with a beffier tire on them. I'm still stock height and the look doesn't bother me, plus if I did lower it I'd rub pretty bad.

Here you go, Enkei PF01 18x8 +40 wrapped in Hankook Ventus V12 225/40/18:

With that width and offset the rears rub when I have stuff/people in the back and there is a lot of spring compression. Once I roll my fenders I'll be fine though.
