Widest 18" Wheel/Tire Combo For G-Sedan

What is the widest 18" wheel/tire set that I could add to my 2003 G-Sedan without problems with rubbing, or weird wearing issues? I would love to give it a lot more aggressive look and feel, but I don't want to get into fender rolling or a lot of mods like that. Can you give me wheel width and tire size?

Thanks for the help!! If anybody has any pics, that would be great!

Thanks, Texan1...been a while since I have been here. If I remember, you live in Denton, or close to it...don't you?

BTW...how about 19" combos? I might go for a little "bling".

Mistook you for somebody else. My bad. Houston is my hometown, but I moved to the midwest from Denton.

i believe it will be right under the fender--as close as possible to the edge but not sticking out--may rub if you don't roll though.

IMHO. Unless you spend a WAD of $ for the lightest wheels/tires out there, they will weigh a ton and only hurt your performance. Super wide tires in the rear will only encourage the car to understeer more. Seems like alot of performance sacrafices just to run staggered.

Won't be near the fender actually. It will be pretty far in. Per the Info 18x8.5 and 30 offset will work also barely.

I agree here. Which is why I am getting lighter 18s.
