I'm going to be ordering a set of 18" Volk SF Winning rims (Mercury Silver) tomorrow... I'm hoping that you guys can give some last minute tips or advice.

I'm from cow country in western MA--the roads aren't exactly well-cared for out here. I decided on 18" rims (as opposed to 19") because a taller profile tire installed on them will help protect against bent lips. At the moment, I have no plans to drop the car but if I were to lower the car in the future, it would be a 1/2", at the most. I also prefer the aggressive look (not sure about specific offsets). Let's say I were to get 18x9 (F) and 18x10 (R) rims, would I end up with any rubbing issues and/or the need to roll the fenders?

I know these are absolutely childish questions, but I'm merely looking for a "You'll be fine," or, "No, don't do that," sort of response. Any sizing recommendations are also greatly appreciated, if you feel like it!

Thanks a ton!

 

what tire sizes would you like to run, and are you willing to roll your fenders?

 

I'm looking to run whatever tire size is optimal for those rims. I don't like the stretched look or the oversized look. I'm guessing the optimal could end up being a 255 (F), 285 (R).

I am willing to roll the fenders, but only if absolutely necessary to attain an aggressive stance.
