so they would look bad? 18" stocks have a +33 for the rear. how would the +15 offset affect the fitment?

im a noob when it comes to understanding how offset works. ive read some stuff but still kinda confused. i even used an offset calculator or w.e

If you get wider rims and change your offset you will noticeably change the cars handling characteristics. Most people will say for the better. You can have wider rubber as well which will help in forward and side to side movement. If your going to spend money on rims you might as well save up and/or find rims that will help performance.
