wheels

Might be tucked in about the same as stock with that offset and a 7.5" wheel. Very contemporary style but that Nascar logo bothers me a bit. Gonna be a lot shinier and "blingy" than the picture indicates... not like the old "factory" machined but not chrome jewellery either. The Touren TR3 is similar but 10 spoke, 8", and hidden lugs ... same "sucked in" center which most of the new German and Japanese rear drivers come with (not machined/black) Looks good in motion and at an angle in stoplight traffic. The 'bird can't pull this look off as well as a new M6, for example, because of the high offset and not having the depth, unless you went staggered, with 10" wide wheels in the back.

245/45-18's won't be "low profile" by ricer/euro standards but will provide decent ride, with a softer sidewall tire (Pirelli, Toyo ...) and adequate wheel protection for the occasional pothole. It'll look a helluva lot better than 60-16's, which look SUV'ish in 2009.
