You should check rays engineering website to see if that offset clears the bbk. I don't think it will. You can also ask forged.

The tires are fine, it is the BBK and the brake clearance he is worried about.
18" wheels can fit over the BBK but only with a proper offset.

It'll look great with the body, not sure about the red calipers though. Seems like it would be a lot going on.

I wouldn't waste the money on the wheels. I think the stockers look great. I would go with suspension, sways, and spacers.

I dont think -15 offsets will clear the akebonos but your welcome to try... I also thought the lowest offset TE's came in were +12...
