    So i found some rims I really want


    Now the lug is 114.3/115 in the description but has an offset of 0. If I just toss them on as is, would it rub anything because I really want these. should I get a spacer? and are spacers good or bad

    lol those will not fit. at all. look for 30+ or 34+. Thats what most bullits come in. I'm actually buying a set of 18x9 30+ bullits.\

    Do you have a color in mind? Black with chrome lip?

    Also Spacers will make them sit out MORE, you don't want them. The reason they won't fit is 0 offset means they will stick WAY far out of the fender. You want something with a high offset 30 or more.

    American Muscle has free shipping though, that's the reason I'm going with them. Also I'm buying tires local, just getting the wheels from there.

    Depends on what you go with. I'm going with Ryken's, which are a Toyo off brand and are way cheap. $117 a tire for 245/45/18's.

    i bet i could make them fit, but i dont think you can make them fit.

    like mr. trendy said, get the ones with the mid +30s offset and you should be better off. even the 18x9 +30mm have a good amount of poke that i dont necessarily like. you've gotta run a little camber to tuck the tops of the wheels into the fenders or it looks retarded to me. and that much camber without being low is also retarded looking.

    honestly, for this type of question coming from you i would stick with something that is around 18x8 +42mm since you dont understand what you're picking out. that way it'll fit and you dont have to worry about it and run back here complaining about mexi-poke and serious rubbing issues.

    20s are fine, just get a width and offset that'll work right.

    should be okay with that so long as you run the right tire.

    20x8.5 +38mm, not bad. in fact, i think ive seen those on a grand prix already.

    I agree with bio rims that are tucked in nicely and look flush look GREAT!!
    See a new ford truck over the weekend at the bowling tournament I bowled in. I was behind him when turneed in the parking lot I would never guessed he had 30 inch rims on it!! Looked badass! Guy was an older white guy, WHO WOULD'VE GUESSED THAT!! Hahahaha
