    All 4 of my wheels are bent, FML. I was looking on ebay for GXP stockers and came across some MSR 045 18x8 with a +35 offset. I plan on running the stock front size of 255/45R18, we have Goodyear Eagle F1 supercars on it now and like them so I figured we could run those on all 4 corners. I searched and found that size works on stock x8s on all 4 corners and that 245/45R18s work with the wheel size/offest I am looking at but I wondered if I could run 255/45R18 still with out rubbing, if I have to roll the fenders I will but I dont want to have to hack up the wheel wells on the womans car.

    These are the wheels I found and the tread pattern of the tires.

    you can always add a pinstripe. pinstripe tape is super crazy cheap. buy the ones without it.

    hyperblack looks nothing like black chrome. hyperblack is a lighter, gunmetal-ish color.
