    18's on my Shiro, and 15's on the 84'. Rubber for the 18's costs almost 3x the amount then that of the 15's. So, keep that in mind when you're searching.

    Wheels Vs Rims
    Thanks to the internet there has been a gradual blurring of the difference between a rim and a wheel.

    For posterity you should know that the rim is the bit that the tyre sits into. It is made up of some bendy bits called: inboard flange, outboard flange, inboard bead seat, outboard bead seat, inboard safety hump (drop centre) & outboard safety hump. When the outboard rim and the inboard rim are assembled or pressed they combine to form the "barrel".

    The bit that has the spokes, radius supports, centre bore boss, etc is called the "centre"

    The barrel and the centre combine to make a "wheel". Sure "wheel" doesn't sound as in the know as "rim", but it does have two extra letters.

    I'm planning on 17x9 all around, with an et of somewhere between 15-20. Wrapped with 255/40/18's. Probably going to tramline like hell, but whatever, it's not a daily driver.

    I'm an H&R dealer. I'll be adjusting it with some hubcentric spacers. I've no interest in rolling fenders, or rubbing tires. And for the record, I hate "stance", stretched tires, and massive amounts of negative camber. I like to drive my cars, and not be afraid of scraping them to pieces, or having only an inch of rear tires actually touching pavement. I'm ok with a touch of battleship, in the interest in driveability.

    Stance doesn't work.

    I imagine you could fit some 265's onto some 12j's and stuff em under stockish rear fenders 8)

    Probably. But it will handle like a complete piglet.
