So, I've noticed a lot of rubbing upfront from having just the skinny 18x8.5's upfront. seems like in these cars you need to tub the front a bit if you wanna be kinda low and run semi wide wheels. Took a nice chunk out of my brand new tire upfront, dammit.

That wheel size would be great if you got the right tire size for it. Stretching is silly. 18x8.5 all day

I don't have a turbo build in mind and being an XFE I'm going for more of a "show-car" look since it's slow. I don't need much rubber on the ground for how fast I'm trying to go. haha

The stretched look is tough to pull off on our cars imo. Some people are able to pull it off with the correct stance. Others waste money. I believe some searching might find some success in others.

Randy and a few other guys have pulled it off pretty well. I agree though, a wheel package or height can make or break a package if you're going for stance. To each their own though. I've searched high and low on here, have dug up so much information that's been super helpful and I hope that once I am actually able to do what I want I can provide someone else the same help that I've been given minus the countless hours of searching. I've learned a lot though so they were hours well-spent even if most of it didn't pertain to what I needed.
