supposedly these are 18x8.5 +35 so I don't think so.

Those raijin's look good, ill find some pics of them on a s2k..

I also agree that I should get a good set of rims rather then crappy rims.

As far as size goes, is 17vs18 going to be a big difference? Like gas mpg? I already know tires are more expensive.

There will be a difference, but I've got no idea how to calculate it. When going up 1" in wheel diameter, it's not significant. Your speedometer will be off slightly, as well. The link below is great for calculating differences between different tire sizes.

I have a set of the gtu's in 16s and those would be my recommendation - I'm so hard on the car I never put them on anymore just leaving my 16in rpf1's on but they are definitely a classic look. I like the sizing because it fits with the car and allows you to run a nice sidewall for ride comfort and looks.

Depends on the size of your tires. If the overall diameter is the same, it won't effect your speedometer. Here's a better link:
