I am interested in new wheels/tires. So far these catch my eye:
Buddy Club QF 18x9 35mm offset.
Toyo R1R 255/40/18.
Stock height, Koni shocks (not that it matters).
Does anyone see any problem with these? I am concerned about fit, of course. I know there will be tire longevity issues with the Toyos. What about the QF lightweight wheels -- what are the risks with these vs., say, CE28N Volks?
Thanks for the help,
d

After a lot of research, reading all the posts in this thread and consulting with a few tire shops, I decided to go with F:20x8.5 and R:20x10 and couldn't be happier. Special thanks goes out to "Kel Rx8" for answering all my PMs.
So if you're wondering if it will fit... YES, F: 20x8.5s and R: 20x10's will fit!
Here are the specs and link to photos for reference:
F: 20x8.5 +40 245/35/20 (235s may be better for more clearance though)
R: 20x10 +46 275/30/20
(Rear fenders rolled and some plastic was trimmed due to the aggressive drop)

No stretching tho with 245/40/18 on 18x8.5 +35, right? Would there be stretching on teh 18x9.5 +45?
Got a temporary situation that might require me putting hoohoos meant for stockers on wheels meant for bigger tires but I won't be able to swap 'em till next year when I can spring for some nice daily tires. Not sure how stretching would affect the tire when it goes back to the stock setup. Might effect the decision on the wheels
Eventually the 245/40/18 go on stockers and I'll get 255/275s that have good fitment on the new wheels.

alright, i've been out of the wheel and tire game for a while, so...
245/40/18 tires all around... is this size a modest upgrade?
what size wheel should i be looking at with the 245 without stretching anything?

for a 265/40/18 tire, 9 inch wheel yes. That tire size is larger than OEM so it will most likely rub if the offset it too low. Haven't seen that size used it so I can't say what offset would clear it. would probably have to be over +45.
