is it even possible to run these wheels?

I don't want to ruin the surprise so I wont say exactly what make/model these wheels are but I need to know if I can run these specs.

the fronts are 18x10 with a -3 offset
Is it going to be possible to run this on a G coupe without going widebody? I realize it will take some serious fender work if it is even possible, but has anyone gone this aggressive?

Ok, secondly if I run these I want to be pretty low. Are my fenders basically gonna need to be flared straight out lol?
Just trying to gauge how much fender work I am going to need in order to run these

Almost anything is possible. You need to ask yourself, "Why would I want to?"

hahahahahaha widebody??? sorry but those specs do not need widebody... i don't know why you ever thought of that. people are running negative offsets on the stock body. It's really no surprise on the wheels... a coupe with aftermarket 18's? hopefully your car is gonna be dumped LOW like slammed LOW since you plan on putting on 18's.

to the ignorant people that posted "why"

Preference is to why. Grow up and leave the insults to yourselves.

Can't the same be said for someone who buys Vossens or Rotiforms? Falls into the same category.

It actually all falls into the "It's your car, do whatever your budget can handle, and imagination can come up with" category.

and the same could be said for those who choose not to run super aggressive offsets that the "stance crowd" looks down upon and leaves "insults" on others' posts.

well...I have yet to do such a thing. There are only one or two that have done so iirc.

So rather than jumping in to a thread and immediately bashing a style preference, try to answer the OP's question.

Yes you can do so you'll need to roll and camber or stretch the tires.


Just remember.. slammed on 18s is different then being slammed on 20s... You're going to have a hard time getting over speed bumps and the apex of drive ways

I'm not saying you personally - just in general.

Also, I did that in post #2.
