wide wheels

im tring to find a company that makes a 18x12 or 18x13 inch wheels. im having hard time finding info on wheels this wide. also for the wheel to look right im assuming im going to have to be using a 0 or negitive offspace am i right about this. im tring to mount either 285s or 295s on the rear but i want the streched look. or could i acive this with a 10.5 wide wheel. srry for the long post and spelling.

If you want a streched look you can always go with a smaller size tire. I dont think you need a 295 but whatever is clever.

yup you know nothing about suspension if you want wheels that wide nor do you know anything about offsets.

sell your car.

i know suspension but i admit i dont know how to figure out propper off set. as for motor rb26 close to 800ps. if i can get away with a smaller wheel / tire combo i origanly was going 255 but ppl said i would have a hard time keeping traction and i should go something wider.

hahah dude with a motor of that caliber. nothing out there will keep the wheels from spinning no matter how wide you go.

yea man anything over 275 isn't going to make a huge difference on our cars. weight also has some play in the equation.
