For those who know stretched tires
Stretched may look cool to some, but has zero function and is not safe. Far too much stress is put on the sidewall during normal driving.
"Go wide" shouldn't stop at just your wheels...tires make the look just as much!
Nothing is more menacing looking then a wide, gnarly looking tire on a wide wheel!

LOL, I heart off topic...
Ok so final decision was made and I ordered the wheels.
18x9.5 and will be stretching the stock 225's over them. Pictures will be up as soon as everything is mounted.

Cheapo set of 006's. I am just looking to get the right size/offset going before I move onto a decent set of wheels. Plus they have a decent lip on em which is the look I am going for anyway. The Set is Black/Polished lip, I think I might pull out a few cans of gold spray paint and throw that on the black. IDK, they were just a cheap set to toss on for now.
^Not likely. If anything, those will hang out the side of the car.
Spacers will be the last thing you'd want from my math. I've ordered 18x9.5" +45 and I'm worried I might need a spacer to clear suspension components.
