Need to confirm about new rims and using stock tires
I researched and I think I found the answer but wanted to confirm before I go buy rims. I'm happy with the stock tires till they die, but want to put new rims on my car, tired of the bbs. I think i saw we can go up to 18x9.5 rims for the stock tires. I want to get rota torques or the g force or something along those lines so if i get like a 18x9, would i need to look for a certain offset or any 18x9 will work with my stock tires?
Thanks. I just like to confirm stuff like this even after researching so I know what to buy!

The tires don't care about the offset so yes ant 18x9 will work. The offset is based on your car and I wouldn't run anything higher then a +35. +20 would be a nice fit. If I remember your running a 245 stock which is actually a 9" wide tire so that's perfect. If you run the 245 on the 9.5 you get a bit of stretch. Here's a pic of my car 18x9.5 on 245/40/18

Okay awesome thanks, so now I know what to get exactly. 18x9 with close to or at +20 offset with stock tires. found posting on ebay from aspec wheels for bronze rota torques at 18x9, forgot what offset but they only had 2 in stock, so that killed me there lol. $188 each with $29 shipping and if they had all 4 could of gotten $40 off. maybe i'll wait or find somewhere else. I need to finance the wheels so i know ebay i think you can always do the bill me later thing.
