Just curious how much work would need to be done to run a set of 18's? I've tried checking though search and everything and nothing turned up.

205/35/18's will fit...... will run into the possibility of rubbing if you're turning and hit a bump. also, if your car is lowered, don't even think about it...

From my understanding you can run 18's with rubberbands for tires with 18X7's.

Eek. I hope you only have to drive in a straight line. Your going to rub a bunch :roll: I would keep your stockers handy, your gonna hate those rims pretty quick. Your going to eat tires, lose massive performance, have a really rough ride, and rub whenever you turn mostly. Avoid potholes at all costs, and GOOD LUCK tongue.gif laugh.gif

18's are a bad idea. Performance wise.

Ugh.

I can't even imagine them.
