I am thinking about getting some 18" wheels. Do they fit our cars?? I dont have stock rims on my 323 so thats why im thinking about these other rims. I have 17s on the car now.

17's are a very tight fit already, usally u need the perfect offset just to fit those. if you do fit 18's without rubbing let us know your rim offset and tire size cause i cant think of anyone whos done it"See that car, in the 80's that car was deadly."

17's look too big in most wheels in my opinion. I'd offer to send you a set of stockers if you wanted them, but shipping would be ridiculous.

Well I looked at it today and i forgot how much room I have between the strut and the tire. There is definately not another inch of room. Maybe an 1/8th of an inch.... 808 I would love a set of stocks. My friend has no joke like 4 sets and he will not get off of one for me...... Stingy bastard but thanks. How much do you think the shipping is??Comment

I'll figure out what the shipping would be... might be awhile though.

I'm using 18"s right now on my BG.
not sure of the offset or tire specs as i just picked up the car, but it's 18" rims with Nitto Neo-Gen tires.
The original owner got them off a Toyota Yaris showcar. Problem is they rub the struts a bit if you're like say, leaving a driveway with wheels angled and whatnot. Easy fix was adding those small spacers you can get anywhere. Now i don't rub at all and I merely rolled the fenders as a just-in-case since the struts are soft.
I'm pretty sure it will be able to fit your BF.

I wouldn't go 18's. I'd bet you be pulling your hair trying to keep the tires from rubbing. Heck, 17's are tight enough. I suggest spending your hard-earned money on something else especially in this economy.Comment

BG is easier to fit bigger wheels on than the BF..

Look at 808's picture. Those are 15s. 18's are probably not going to be worthe the trouble, but hey, it's your car.Originally posted by 808 View PostComment
