Chances of finding an 18" in low-offset are probablly slim to none, unless you go and get a set of FWD style wheels (18x7, 18x7.5, etc.). Why not get a set of 17"? Find somethind you like, and get them. My guess is you want it more for looks so I guess offset shouldn’t really matter. ---

I’d look more into 16-17" or even 15", 18"+ is for looks really. ---

> [@Simich](#): > > I’d look more into 16-17" or even 15", 18"+ is for looks really. He wants 18". I’m pretty sure he wants it for looks. If you want performance wheels, consider 16" or if you have the power and money to push around 17", go for 17". Sizes I’d consider are: 16x8 F/R +10 to +15 offset 17x8.x F, 17x9.x R +25 to +35 offset Moved to Car Chat… ---

Depending on what rim/tire combo you go with, you will definately feel the decrease in performance off the start if you engine is stock. ---
