Default Help wheel gurus.......fitment, 18x10/18x12

Hi, ive searched through this forum for a while now and have found several posts about these sizes. They are Work VsXX 18x10 +7 and 18x12 +12, some people have said just with ALOT of negative camber and stretched tires that they would fit. But i figured id post up for some more opinions, so what do you think???And yes i have brembos.

11.5 is about as wide as you want to go with stock body and that's with slightly pulled fenders.

Those wide wheels won't do much good if it results in you having a footprint the width of a pencil

^ yeah, and who wants to replace tires every other month??? Nothing says cool like shredding the inside of your tires with every rotation. I only say this because I did the camber thing years back on a car I had , after I lowered it i needed alot of camber to miss the fenders.

That is going to look hot. Keep us informed of the progress.

Pull your fenders out, run SUPER stretched tires, and adjust your camber as negative as possible and it might work. My only concern is the offset of the wheel, it is VERY low for that width. I think a higher offset should be a lot more feasible.
