Default New Rims to complete stance build please help

Hey guys i am just starting a new post got tired of looking around and not completely figuring out this offset for my car. I am just about to order B+G RS1 Coilovers for my car if you would throu your opinion about them that would be great. What i am looking for is wheels that give that a__ aggressive stance to it. I am a offset and give it a good amount of camber but be able to keep as my daily driver. Thanks guys any help would be great

There's no perfect offset or wheel for this. Too many factors go into it. We have plenty of threads about wheel fitment already, showing various ways of going about it.

-Trial and error my friend.
-If you don't want any contact or little rubbing go with 17x8.25+35 or 17x8.5+35.
-The great fit part is your call man. It's your car and don't buy or do things to suite other people do it because you like it.
-If you go with a 3inch drop get a rear camber kit atleast the factory camber go only so far. I believe its +/- 2.75 degrees of rear camber but I'm not sure.

Also what color scheme are you going?
Give us more details so we can throw you some ideas.

you dont need a rear camber kit for the rear the stock camber bolts go to -5.

if your looking for rotas go to wheeldude.com
do some research

I will probably end up with the Trial and Error to get how i want and the color scheme i am going for is kinda similar to others. I did a red/white LeD swap on the cluster and hvac done by Cobaltbravo thats his name on here looks great and the cubby light and everything is red. But i am gonna throw in some Carbon fiber like the cluster Trim/B-pillar and wraping the water in CF with the inside of it black. If that helps

2 days of searching is hardly any research when it comes to something like coilovers and wheels...ive been looking around for months waiting for good deals to come by until i finally found what i was looking for...i shopped for coilovers for a few months before i decided on a set...as for wheels, i looked for about a year before i bought my 1st set

the one thing about the whole "stance game" is trial and error...youll only know what you like and what youre willing to settle with when you try it...some people rub with 8 inch wide wheels and call it a day...others try to fit 10 inch wide wheels and dont care if they rub...i have 18x9's and i want to go wider...

judging by what you sound like you want...8" wide is not wide at all... at least 9" would be better with much lower offset than 30...probably around 20-30 on a 9" wheel would get you the look you want...

seeing as how youre 18 and probably on a budget...try looking at Rotas, XXRs, Miros or a set of used quality wheels (BBS, Work, Rays, Volk, SSR, etc). or if youre budget is higher, look to buy brand new with custom offsets. if you order custom though, expect at least a 3 month or more wait time before you even see your wheels.

I have the B&G coilovers youre getting...theyre great and I love them. mines been on for 50k miles and still works just fine with no damage and no signs of corrosion or rust

Sounds good but I mean what color is your car and what color wheels do you like.

I stand corrected when refering to stock camber degrees.

I found some Raderwerks rims that i like it gives me the deep dish i like and for our lug pattern 5x100 they dont come with a lower offset of +35mm all the way around. Can you give me any info on spacers i can use and what size spacer not to go over not to harm the studs and some suspension parts since this is my daily driver.
