By fitmit I mostly mean offset....as it effects the way it fits on the car and in the fender.

dk?

Anyway. I believe unless you go to rubber only tires (which are not cheap by any means), you will either have to roll your fenders or go to a smaller tire size. Personally I think 18" rims are to big for the car. Yes they will fit with the drop from the apex springs, but I don't think it is worth going that big. If you still want big tires I say go with 17", that way you don't need to roll your fenders or run on rubber. This is just my opinion. But feel free to do what you want.

18" wheels with the right tires arn't any different that 15" in overall diameter.

I'm actually switching my setup around..instead of 17" street wheels and 16" tracks I'm doing 16" streets cuz I like keeping my suspension somewhat stiff and having the taller tire doesnt hurt performance but improve ride quality. Plus 16" wheels barley fit my brakes which looks so good having the rotor fill the wheel.

ive seen 20's on a forenza, as long as the offset, and bolt pattern are correct, and you dont have monster truck tires on em, you should be fine... best way to find out.. stick them on your car, and see how they fit, its like trying on shoes bud.

I bet the fenders where at least rolled and the tire height was in the 30's.

Yes sir, they had to do some work to fit those on there. but 18's shouldnt be much of problem unless they're too wide, or have thick tires.
