18x8 wheels?

or

My friend can get me a good deal on some wheels and tires but the wheels I want he can only get in 18x8. The ideal size is 18x9 right. They have 18x9's in the style I want but I'd have to get them at regular price. Would 18x8's look lame? Should I just save up for the 18x9's?

on an import no, but on a stang yes, go with the 18x9 and maybe 18x10 in the back, if you are going to buy rims go big or don't go at all

18x8 would be ok for the front, but yeah, its gonna suck when the widest tire you can fit is like 265.. I have 275's on the rear of my car, and i wish i had wider now with my 18x9's.

Look into some TSW wheels.. You want 18x9 with ET (offset) of 24-26. the bolt pattern is 5x114.3 i believe.

Hahaha....you guys talk as thogh running 8" wheels on the back is a sin. Do you not remember back in the day when Mustangs wheels were only 7"? I used to cut consistent 2.0X on 245/50/16 street tires and pony wheels on my old 5.0L LX with little effort on a crappy track. If you like the wheels and 18x8's is the only size their available in, then go right ahead and get them. You're probably not going to see a huge difference in how they perform with street tires anyway.

They are available in 18x9 but I could get a good deal on the 18x8 versions. I have the stock Bullitt wheels and they're 17x8.
