Sorry, I meant I am trying to decide on wheel size, not sure what wheel I want right now

AR only lists 18X10 on their site.

if u are lowered or planning on lowering it, id go with 17s. 18s are heavier, but fill up the wheel well better. 315 tires sometimes have rubbing problems on lowered cars. im getting 17x11s soon.

17x11 with 315 GS-D3's had some clearance issues for me. My car is now lowered.

Taking corners mildly quick causes the rears to rub on the inner wheel well almost every time.

There is only about a quarter inch clearance on the backside of both rears in some spots, just parked.

I put up with it though, cuz it looks so good.
