question about wheels

I don't have much experince with this. i did look on the wheels forum but couldnt get my answer.....

my question is: im looking for staggered lightweight 18" rims (for SEDAN) that would stick out a little and be wider but i dont wanna deal with any problems like rubbing and such... what configuration should i go for?
thanks!

get some light weight rims like TE37 and dont run too aggressive offset.

what u want is pretty simple.... getting the deepish dish possible without an aggressive offset is hard.

The stock sedan wheel offset is 45 for both 17 and 18 inch wheels and the stock wheel width is 7 inch for the 17 inch wheel and 7.5 for the 18 inch wheel. Plug in some numbers in the wheel offset calculator to see different setups.

I'd look into Enkei wheels, I personally like the RPF1, they only weigh 18.5 lbs and are reasonably priced. There's also volks (overplayed) or you could try out some Gram Lights, there more expensive but very nice wheels.

+38 is pretty safe if you run a stretched tire and don't drop it more than about 1.2" -- that would limit you to Eibach Pro-Kit's and Tein H-Tech's though... or get coilovers!

Get a bigger offset in the rear if you can. 19x9.5, +45 is good.
