18x9.5 +12

I just think when you go to these larger diameter rims, you visually loose that deep look even keeping the width and offset constant.

I like the deep look of my minilites. They are 15x9 with 4 1/8” backspace and 4 7/8” on the front side.


Brad’s 18x11 rear rims have 5.5” backside and front side. but I think they look more shallow than mine. Even though they technically are not.

My setup and 72bluNblu's is exactly the same wheel width, offset, brakes, and tire size. A lot of that has to do with the rims you choose. The torque thrust M's are made differently than the enkei's, being that the spokes are made to curve around the brakes...best picture I have:



The harsh reality of the smaller rim diameters is the tire choice blows and a rim under 18" you have to worry about tierod clearance to the rim and tire, which in most cases forces a smaller tire width.

Honestly I would have gone with a 17" rim if the tie rod wasn't an issue, just because of the road conditions in my area. My other two brand x cars run 17's with the same OD.
