im in the market for a new set of wheels for my car, and the ones that i like tirerack just have them on 18", would they fit with no problems on my car with the stock suspension or should i just get another 17 " set?? . The website says that they will fit, just want to make sure before i buy them.
thanks
18 " Rims

I'd recommend a 205/40/18 or 215/40/18...35 series are like rubber bands, and 225/40s rub over the bumps.

I would go with 215x40x18 and call it good. We just put some 225x40x18s on tg's svt this last Friday night. They went on without a problem (42 offset) and he is saying they rub on bumps. You should be able to get away with 215's, but maybe you want 205's to play it safe?
I just put 215x40x18's on my ST and have absolutely zero rubbing and PLENTY of room. When I had the 225's on my ST, I RARELY had rubbing if at all.
The 18's will fill out your wheel well very well and give a nice looking appearance. I guess it depends on what type of driver you are....If you are aggressive and carelees, 18's prob. aren't the way to go. If you are cautious and conservative, 18's will compliment your SVT and be fun to drive on.
