OP didn't say that he was looking for stretched tires and I need a sidewall on my tire for the type of driving I enjoy.

I was commending you on not doing that...Your car looks nice! You only stretch tires to avoid rub when you go so low your fender goes lower than the tire. At stock height, there is clearly no need for that

for stock ride height maybe. I think this, slammed, and slightly wider fenders would be award winning

Wheel and tire fitment are complicated. Tire size, wheel size, camber settings, ride height, offset, wheel width, and stagger options all can make things not look right or fit funny.

18's will look great at stock height, just get ones with the right details listed above. For example lots of guys run a 18x8 +35 offset with a 225/40 fits great and looks good stock height.

Personally, I don't like as much poke as some guys have. But I live in Oregon, where it willspray mud on the side of your car.

Some additional pictures here in this review thread, but you've seen the ones that give the best representation.

Beautiful setup man. Thanks for sharing....would love to see the wheel and tire specs. They look like Rota grids?

18x8.5e44 Rota Grid Sport Bronze w. Hankook Ventus V12 (235/40)

Are you asking where you can buy the wheel?

I don't have any picture of rear wheel gap but it is the same as the front. The only difference is that the rear wheels are slightly tucked since the rear fenders come out more than the fronts.

your better off getting a wider tire with a higher sidewall if your more concerned with the ride, get a 40 sidewall if you want to fill in that gap on stock height... im going to go with 265/40s on my rears next pair of tires to fill in my gap a little more
