there are a LOT of fitment issues with 18's. rubbing to mad hell. i haven't had them on or anything, but i know because my 17's with 215/40's are 1 mm away from rubbing the fenderwall.
good luck with the bike rims. it'll look kind of goofy on our small cars and be a very choppy ride quality, but i'd like to see what they would look like.

You should probabally just re-sell them and get a better looking size, like 16 or 17 if you wanna push it...those 18s will make your car stand 3 feet off the ground even if its lowered a bit...

as much as i like 18's just go with 17's...they still look good
now over here something new had happen with the tibby and 18' rims
a lot of boosted tibby owner have told me when. they ride on 18' they have broken there tranny, would the bigger rim put more stran on your drivetrain?
what do you think guys,

Oh hell yes, think of the torque on the wheel as it spins!

They are not that heavy, i mean i don't know too much about them, but they only way about 20lbs each, ill have pics posted up soon, i couldn't past them up i got a good deal on them $250 for all 4 and they are in almost perfect condition, its hard to find wheels that cheap around here, i mean i could try and find somebody to trade me straight up for something else, but for now idk what im going to do

TWENTY POUNDS!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH!
Mine weight 12.5lbs (17inch).
That means a set of FOUR 20's would weight THIRTY pounds more than my set of 17"s. And that's ROTATIONAL MASS, so it really weighs even more when spinning.
30 lbs difference, that's like a carbon fiber hood! And all you have to do is get 17" instead of 18" ...(mind you the RIGHT 17" wheels. Some 17's and just as heavy as 18's).
