blew a tire and it flew off. SO today my tire blew off the car and now i need to get new rims. I want 18's all the way around. i had 17s in front and 18s in the back. I have 4 new 18in tires bfg gsports 275/35s. What rims are you guys running on your car in 18? do i need to get calibrated? will it fit? will the wideness of the 18s look stupid up front? any pics? thanks!

heres the deal. I have been needing new rims because it wont seal around the edge and everyday i need to pump up the air in it because it goes down to 10psi overnight and its good for the day. Yesterday however I get in the car and go to Sheetz about 15 mi away and notice the tire is running low because it was pulling. It was completely flat and began to pump it up. it was loosing air as I was pumping it up so i got air in it enough to take it .5 miles down the road to the tire store because looking at it i knew it was messed up. it bubbled out on the outside edge. keep in mind i never drive on it flat except this one time while it went to fill it up but .1 mile down the road i notice my bfg gsports beating me on route 3. FUN!!!!!!!!! Then the tow truck came and screwed up my front end. and might i add the whole time my fiance is laughing.
here are my pics of my fun time. this is what happens when you don't have enough income to buy new rims when you needed them a long time ago....

my car is lowered though so my 18s in the back are almost tucked pretty good. the 18s still might work i need to test it to see if it doesnt poke out too much.
