? does it matter
I want to keep my tires, they are OEM size. I am having one hell of a time finding wheels to fit them that I like. had Alessio turbos ordered but find out they were short 1 wheel and have no idea when it will come in. If you go to a 18x7.5 or 18 x 8.5 what does it change? Will the tires still fit like on a 18x8? Damn, two weeks going at this rim search on the web. Looking at a set of Sterns, 18.8.5 48 mm offset.

The width of the rim (8.5) and the offset (48) along with the width of the tire ...all can determine how far your tires will stick out from the car. If you go with an (7.5) with the OEM tires, you will have a more narrow stance with the wheel because you would be losing 1/2 inch of width, however, this width would still work. I would go with at least an (8) or (8.5) on your width. Good Luck

Thanks, the rim I ordered is fine. 18x8, 45 offset. Was trying to avoid paying 900 bucks because the others were 635 shipped but oh well. I really like these and i asked her if they gave a military discount(all you military folk always ask, you would be surprised) so she threw in the hardware for free.
