lots of cars
the biggest tire you can fit in the beack is 245/40/18 you can maybe use 255 if u put a 35 series tire?....i would say 18x9 38mm offset max in the back with a 245...18x8 in the front 35mm offset 235/40/18....i've tried it and it works but can't go hard on corners....

I have 16x7's which I LAUGH at because I used to have R129's 16x8, and the skinnier rims handle 5 times better!

belive me when I tell you all that you guys have absolutely NO clue as to how I can take corners with my tiny, punie little rims on 205/55 series tires...

MWHAHAHAHAH LOL

yeah, my 8" wide rims cause me to hug ruts in the road. I have to pay a lot more attention while I'm driving. 8" wide rims in the rear probably good- better traction in accelleration. But I wouldn't mind some 7" fronts.
