how wide do i have to go for the wheels to be flush with fender flares?

[Singh]

alright, so if i get 18inch wheels with 40-45 profile how wide of a tire/rim do i need on my grand prix for the wheels to come flush or slighty over the fender flares? i think its ugly if the rim, especially on the rear isnt at least flush with the fender flare. how wide can i go before it makes problems in the front with steering? or should i only go so wide and then use offset ? how much offset, or should i get wheel spacers? for rear only?

 

any ideas help, thanks. im looking at some rims but i really cant decide because some rims , actually very few in my opinion look good on these style grand prix's, i like the crosslaces alot but they arent big enough and it doesnt look good even with 45's profile. plus mine are beat to hell time to get something else, most probally another gloss black rim with chrome lip. so if you have any ideas for wheels let me know too.

You dont need a very wide rim, you just need a small offset. If you get too wide of a rim + smaller offset, youll be rubbing.

ya its not the tires its the rim mainly

i would think an 8" wide wheel with a 20mm offset would be perfect for the front and 15mm offset for the rear, but good luck finding one.

ah ok i got it, yea i figured i would get rubbing.

 

i want the rear wheels to be a bit more out than the front ones because it seems like with the crosslaces they are more in than the front, as far as how it looks im sur eits the same measurement anyways.
