Default Wheel options

I put a 8.8 in my car thats 2 inches shorter on each side. I have some billet specialties 15x10 5.5 back space that fit well but I really want more of a street wheel. So how would a 18x10.5 with 6.54 bs and +20mm offset look maybe with a small spacer if needed? The more I read about this the more I confuse myself. I put some 15x8 5.5 bs pro stars on just to see and it looks retarded.. The wheels are way to tucked.. so hopefully someone can shed some light on how much the wheel width changes fitment..?

Thanks guys

a 1in spacer/adapter should work just fine... in fact, you may want to consider a 1.25"

and to further answer your question - going from a 10in wide wheel to a 8in with the same backspacing will appear to tuck more... in essence, you've cut two inches off the outside of the wheel
