Default How would this look?

How would this look? I'm afraid flush would be out of the question. It would be on an rs7 with a TRD drop. I really like the wheels and might get a good price but i want it to be flush. afraid it won't be though.

Front 18x7.5 +45
Rear 18x8.0 +55

That's what's stopping me from buying them. They would look sweet too. You think they would sit like thw stock wheels or i mean sit that far in?

OEM steelies are 16x6.5 +45.
Front 18x7.5 +45 would be 1/2" closer to flush than the steelies, but would still sit back about 3/4" from being flush with the fender.
Rear 18x8.0 +55 would be about 3/8" closer to flush than the steelies, but would still sit back about 1-1/4" from being flush with the fender.

Thanks for now i have a clear look. So would spacers be a good thing or just get different size wheels? If i stick with them what size spacers?

nah its coo, depending on your own definition of aggressive though. because that offset with that width IMO isn't too aggressive.

I know what you mean and no it isn't too aggressive. What i meant was it might be too much if i want to just bolt on and not have to do any fender work.
