widest wheels
Whats the widest wheel we can fit with rotors all around? I hate to say it but I may be getting 18s because im having trouble finding 17s with the specs im looking for. 18x9 sound too wide?

Which begs the question - why go wider than you need to?
Wider wheels need wider tires, which equals more weight and more $$$.
Just askin'.

As long as you stay at proper tire height then 9 will be ok but remember I would not go with a side wall width of more than 9.5. This is the problem area.

Here buy these. They're only in Michigan, not to far from you, in amazing shape, low price, and two good tires. Your going to pay way more for new junk than you would for this nice set. Just do it it makes the most sense, and you can't go wrong with five spoke.

No, but It's definitely burning some rice. I don't know if you know where oldsmobile is made, last I checked it was in the Americas, with all use wide eyed folk. |

Last time I checked hondas are made in ohio and alabama. And how are they rice? Or are you one of those guys who thinks all foreign cars are rice even though they make better power with same or smaller sized engines, and last longer?

IMO not terrible. Slammed and depending on the color it should look awesome.
