They fit with the proper offset and slight negative camber depending if you are lowered or not.

I love my 18x8's. They look pretty aggreassive to me, especially from the back since they are pretty wide. I had to get my rear fenders rolled though, and my fronts scrape sometime if I hit a sudden bump, but then again, I really need to install those struts :(

mark and me were talkin about it a while back... it might be possible.... roll the fenders and push them out very slightly... i think melodys would be a perfect example of a nice ass rolled fender...maybe just maybe you could. with that...

be the first to do it.. my guess is since a 19x8.5 fits on a 33mm offset (with a 5mm spacer in rear)

a 28mm offset or so (ask kenny) might just work.. and i say MIGHT

It will work if you got the money to play...

you can do 18x9 with a 30mm offset with negative maybe 3 degree camber and some screeched tires. Probably a 235/35 series tire..

Roll the hell or cut

Anything will work with the right amount of money..

It wont cost that much to cut fenders... so I dont really think money is an issue for making them fit...

He isnt super low... so I would think rolling or cutting the fenders would do the trick along with the correct offset, tire size and camber... really shouldnt be that tough if done right (and that is of course the key)...

The only issue when it comes to money are the rims.... Negative camber depending on how low you really are.... Cutting or rolling the fenders is a given...
