You need to clarify fronts and rear offsets. I run nt01 +30 square. Fronts clear fine with no spacers rears I run a 15mm spacer making them +15. Spacers are not a big deal but if you don't there are a bunch rims that fit over sport brakes. You need to decide what wheels and size you want and then do some research on offsets. Heck you can even have a set of wheels made to whatever offsets you like.

Yea I know haha all I was saying is the wheels I have liked haven't been put on our cars in the form of an 18 inch. Just posted hoping more people would post pics to help me make my decision.

Building a custom set of my liking still wouldn't guarantee caliper clearance either though lol. I'll figure it out though eventually. I'll probably purchase 1 wheel first just to test fit.

That's why I ask U what are the wheels to verify if they fit or not.... My opinion is that the problem of the wheels that you want is the offset...

Just considering all of my options right now. I posted too early lol so far I want the back to be around 18x10.5 +15. The front 18x9 +30 or so. I want my wheels to clear brakes but not poke too much. Just flush. Sorry for all the confusion. I've found a few wheels that I'm eying and I'll keep searching to see if I can find any akebono G's or Z's that can confirm fitment.
