I want to get this rims from WheelDude.

Wheel Style - Rota G-Froce
Wheel Diameter (Inches) - 18"
Wheel Width (Inches) - 8.5"
PCD Bolt Pattern - 5x114.3
Offset - 48mm
Hub Bore - 73mm

Would I have to "roll" my fenders or anything? I want this rims but I don't want to do anything to my fenders.
 
i don't know about fenders, but our hub bore is 67.1, you'll need hub centric rings to get those to work.
 
I had a set of 18x8 ET40+ on my old MS3. I had to get the fenders rolled, even at stock height.
 
Rolling your fenders isn't all that tough and there are plenty of Ohio guys around that have done it and would be willing to help you out.

But yeah, like Lara I have 18x8 +40 and had to roll my fenders. And you can see why here:

This was with the stock suspension still (one of these days I'll take a new one to show the new ride height):

I only rubbed when I had people sitting in the back and went over a particularly nasty bump.

Your car is pretty nice! and alright i guess ill just pick whatever rims i want then make the other ohio dudes roll my fenders :D
 
Thank you and yeah Chippy (j4rl) basically did mine for me :)

Nah, it really isn't. We rolled the fenders on our 240sx with a bat at an event - but we also weren't worried about the paint on it. But don't let the fenders stop you, the G Force wheels are gorgeous!
 
Yes, Pick up a set of wheels no bigger than 8-8.5width and higher than 48 offset

I've got CorkSport springs on Bilsteins... would this theory work with that setup, or is rolling the fender a must with a drop? I am looking to buy 8" wide rims so I can run 235/40 tires or so. The Speed3 NEEDS more meat with the power it's got.
 
Must with a drop. On stock wheels/tires you will not rub. Once you go wider then you start having issues. Better to roll and not need it than rub the s*** out of new tires
