ADR rims, 18?

Hey all, I'm oging to be purchasing some rims real soon. I got a few candidates, but so far I'm leaning towards some ARD Cyphers

http://www.adrwheels.com/php/aw.view....large/186.jpg

for size I'm thinking of 17x7 in the front, and 18x7.5 or 18x8.5 in the rear
I know the 18" rims would fit, but with very little tire. Eventually I plan on going with gas tokico struts and springs to lower the car a little bit. Does anyone know if the car would lower correctly without rubbing with 18"?

Trust me, you will regret getting 18s...

What do you drive?

18s are just too heavy, while they look good, I don't think they are worth the look. 17s do the job just as good, IMO.

Keep in mind that car is engineered to have staggered wheel/tire size too.

what color of car do you have??? I like your choice in the design of wheel... but a wheel that size is going to be good for only one thing.... looking good... but that's what the bigger wheels are for... I guess.

my car is white
I'm lookking for a goldish color rim. Normally I wouldn't get 18", but its hard to find rims that are staggered. Most of the rims I find are all 17x7 and if they are staggered there in the 18s. Idealy I would preffer to have 16x7 in the front, and 17x8 in the rear. If anyone knows of any clean looking rims with 5-7 spokes with those dimensions. Please feel free to let me know.

take a look at www.tirerack.com. You can actually see how your two would look with the rims they sell. They are decently cheap, same with tires.
