I think you're on crack. I wouldn't trade my 18s for any other size. With the big lip sizes the "classic" wheel has, the center looks really small with a 17" wheel, and it just doesn't look proportioned well. Not to mention a 18x11 will fit a lot better than a 17x11 because of where the sidewall will come in contact with the IRS bolt and sub-frame mount on the chassis.

God those wheels would look sick on my silver 10th anniversary. Are those anthracite centers? Could you Pm me what they ran you if you dont mind. Might be time to put the BBS RK plasmas up for sale.

Not trying to jack you but just want to get something clear. i am looking for basically the same type of set up with the best stance i can get on my 03. sounds like 18x11's with 335/30 tires are the way to Go?

Exactly. 315-335 would look good on there.

You're pretty low ^ are your roads smooth as silk? Any compression and your fenders will be cutting into that tread...

Also don't have fenders rolled on either of my cars with the 345s.
Thats risky! My car was slammed for a bit with the 335s and I could hear the fenders rubbing through dips and sharp turns. Big tires dont like twisties. Good suspension helps though. Pretty easy to roll the fenders if you can find someone with the tool. Just peace of mind knowing 1 dip in the road wont slash your $350 tire

We have the shittest roads known to man here and I've never even had one of my 345s come close to rubbing, on the inside or on the lip. :shrug:
