alright i guess ill put it in technical terms... i dont care about the offset right now because i just want to know how these style of rims look on the car no i wont buy 7.5 inch rims or the wrong offsets. after i see a set on the car i will look for the proper offset and size.. does that make you guys happier.. what im saying is i dont care about the offset right now.. because i just want to see what they look like. the black on chrome. or has no one ever found a set that fits?

what is the MIN you would need.. would a 20 x 8.5 38 mm offset work? or you going to need 9.5 min and 30-35mm offset. mine is a 2004. right now both are 18's factory.

Since you aren't looking to drop I would recommend 245/40F and 265/40R.
You can do 275/40R but I don't like to see more than a 20mm width difference on same width wheels, otherwise the difference in sidewall stiffness F/R might start to feel weird.
I run 265/35F and 275/35R but that would look really odd at or near stock ride height. PS2s don't come in 285/35 or I would have those on the rear.
