Well if you're still looking at wheels and have not bought anything I would advise against it. There are the lowering issues and you will end up finding yourself looking at every other car out there and noticing how 99.9% of them fit within the wheels. Get the right backspacing and size.

I think it's just a matter of personal preference. I'm running 03/04 Cobra wheels which are 17x9.5 and 25/26mm offset - incorrect for my 05, but they sit exactly where I want them and my 275/40 Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval tires all the way around give it a nice mean stance. I have steeda sport springs which dropped the front 1 inch and the back 3/4 inch - that also helps with the stance.

I do have the urge to go with 18's every now and again, but I just love the way she sits too much to change it.

Pics...





forgot to add....I dont run into any problems with speed bumps and most parking space stopper-thingys

I have 18X9 also 25mm and i think they are just perfect.. anyone know if I get a 18X10 rim w/a simialr offset if its gonna stick out about the same as what I have now and if not how much more???? Help!!

My stock wheels were too "tucked in" for my taste, so I put 1" spacers on my stock wheels.
It now looks fine. Kinda like they are aftermarket wheels now.
