Default Help with wheels size

Hey guys!

I'm checking out various wheels for my s2k and so far I've seen the set that I want.

They are staggered,
17x8 Front and 18x10 Rear
5x114.3 Bolt Pattern
51+ Offset Front and Rear.

Do you guys think this set will fit my car with no problems?
My car is NOT lower nor has any suspension at all, is bone stock and I want to have it that way.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks!!

you'll have to roll and flare the rears. With the right sized tires you should be fine on the front. Why are you putting 17s on the front and 18s on the rear? It's going to look like a 4-wheeler with 18s btw.

215/45-17 fronts on 17x8 +51 and 255/35-18 rears on 18x10 +51 shouldn't be a problem at all with no fender work, esp. if you add some negative camber, around -1 front/-2 rear maybe...

255/35/18s are made for a 9" rim...not a 10" rim. Just because you can make it fit doesn't mean that you should.

Recommended rim width (which is going to be conservative) for a 255/35-18 is 8.5" - 10". Not a problem.

^^^Let me rephrase...the optimal sized rim for a 255/35/18 is 9" wide

OP, both your tire selections are at the most aggressive end of the recommendations from the manufacturers. I'm wondering why. Is it just to make the rims fit? Does this frame of mind make logical sense?

if you want it stock as possible...increase your offset by +7-10 in the rear and go with a 17x9" rim.

What rims are you looking at?
