Hey buddy, welcome to the boards. As far as the wheel question, 18s are definetly not too big. Just make sure you get the correct offset and you should be fine. On a 7" wide rim try to find a +45 offset wheel, and +48 on 7.5" wide rim. If you plan on lowering it later, get 215/35/18s and you will be good. Good luck in your wheel search.(2thumbs)

i have the 17" konig 6 speed with a eibach pro kit its tight now. Might want to do a small drop if your goin with 18's so u dont scrape, or rub.

iite, i called up the kid, the tires are 215/40, he said he will sell me the rims alone, how much do tires run??? 18's

 

[bazooka joe]

they run from real cheap to real expensive. do a search on the web and you'll get more specific pricing and understand what you're getting for your money.

I think your car will be slower with 18 inch rims and 215/40 tire on.
You better get lighter ones if you thinks of perfomance.

The 18's will look really good on your car, but with a yellow P5, you should also tint the windows and maybe get a DGM grille or something.
