it could look okay as long as the wheels are tucked inward under the fender and quarter arches. if you're planning to 'stance' it with fatlace tires, then you'll probably want to get multi-piece wheels or very concave wheels.

honestly your car is geared more towards performance. how about getting some koni's, grippy tires like RE11's, and just finish it up?

figure with coils i could get the best of both worlds. Lower it down to hard park when i want to, then lift it up to drive around or auto x. figure i'll go with bc's. i'm just seeing what my options are with these wheels as i've never seen it done before. i use the word "stance" not as in hellaflushing, but just getting an aggressive stance

yah, but you would need to get alignment each time you change the height more than 0.5". even at 0.5" change, that is borderline sloppy on these types of suspension.

If I understand your question correctly you are looking for aggressive wheel setups without a big lip?

Something like this?

I think that you will be fine. The only area where I understand you would be questioning the look, is the rear. I know that with nice race setups, CCW, they look quite nice with the flatter faced wheels and some nice stance.

A good example is this GTR. I consider that pretty (stanced), maybe not slammed, but it would look great nonetheless. If anything, give it a shot!

Yah like that. Just tuck it nicely in the arches without ridiculous neg camber.
