If the overall diameter of your wheels and tires stayed the same as stock, and the stock stuff fits there, then you really should have no problem putting the 18"s in there. I plan on getting 18"s soon and my Sportlines should be here on Tuesday. As long as you don't make the tire much bigger then it should be fine.

I wonder if you need camber correction w/ them? I was about to ask the same question, because I'm considering sportlines w/ my 18's.

veilside has got to be one of the most unclean body kits. c-one, ww, trd and kaminari are the most clean. vielside has to much going on for my taste.

I'm sorry... but IMO Kaminari, WW, and TRD are too played out..
they still look good..... but EVERYONE has one or the other..

w00t! My Sportlines are being put on as I type this. I would have done it myself but my dad volunteered since he's a professional mechanic and I had to work today, too. But my car should be sitting pretty tonight! :D Now I just gotta get those 18"s.

I just got these yesterday. Offset is 35mm and with the 8" wide rim, they sit RIGHT at the edge of the wheel well. In fact, I think they'll hit the inside lip of the wheel well. I'm having the wheel well edges rolled.

I have 18's and the Eibach Sportlines, no rubbing at all. My tires are 215/35's.

18/40 or 18/35 should be just fine... I doubt there will be any rubbing...
