-
The Aggressive 18" Bolt-On Wheel Package
-
The most aggressive bolt-on 18" setup without the possibility of needing spacers with nearly all aftermarket and OEM setups. Wheels and tires will be an inch wider than the OEM setup, but they don't require any extra work to prevent rubbing.
-
Front: 18x9” ET30 with 245/40-18 tires
Rear: 18x10” ET25 with 275/35-18 tires -
Direct fit.
-
With certain tire brands and low ride heights, front fender liner rubbing may occur.

-
The More Aggressive 18" Wheel Package
-
Go wider with 18s. Perfectly flush with minimal modifications. This fitment maximizes wheel width using all available space within the fenders. Tires will appear ever-so-slightly stretched in order to clear the fenders.
-
Front: 18x9.5” ET35 with 245/40-18 tires
Rear: 18x10.5” ET22/ET25 (or ET27 depending on design) with 275/35-18 tires -

Tires will appear slightly stretched (see above photo).

265/35-18 front and 285/35-18 rear tires may work with additional negative camber.
-
With certain tire brands and low ride heights, fender liner rubbing may occur.
-
-
-
The Spacer-Free Aggressive 18" Wheel Package
-
Go wider with 18s, spacer-free. Same as the fitment above but uses a lower front offset to avoid the spacer requirement that may be necessary with certain suspensions. As a result, more front negative camber will be required to prevent rubbing.
-
