Wide wheels on alty?

I got a problem....(car problem) anyways i kinda like the bmw look. what i mean by this is the wide rim(9.5inch)in the back(deep dish). So what im thinkin is putting a wider rim on the back of my alty(maybe a 9). I have 18by 8s all around with 245/40-18 now. Or should i put wheel spacers on it.

yes do what Grimm said if you go too wide you have the chance of rubbing and if you get spacers it looks ghetto like a lowrider you wont like that sticked out look all you want is a "deep dish" look you can do that with maxis lips.........but if you dont want a whole new set of rims you might barely get away with a 9" wide rim in the back....

Thats what im saying a 9 inch rim in the back might look good and maybe up the tire to a 255! what u think? I have lip on my rims just not enough!!! I have TSW Catalunya go to www.TSW.com to check them out

I really doubt 9" would fit, but would look fuken hot. I love the BMW wheel look, thats why I got the HP evo in 18x8, lip is about 2".

If you do this I would seriously consider gettin the back fenders shaved cause its almost definately gonna rub.... just remember that on our cars everything looks smaller... my wheels have a 3" lip on them and ask altima dreams the lip looks small....

Deezam grimm, 3" lip? I thought our rims were the same minus the 19" vs 18". Well if ur lips 3" I guess mine is too.

I just went outside and measured them, ive got just under 2.5" of lip. My dads suburban has a full 3.5" of lip and they're 18's, man I wish i could put that rim on my car.
