8.5 would be the widest I would go. steven88 has 18x8.5" amongst others. Depends on the offset ... check the stickys ...

It's gonna depend on the diameter, offset, and tire size, as well as whether it goes front/rear. So, please be more specific so we can properly answer your question. Hopefully mods can move this to the appropriate forum?

Triple 8, the rims I was deciding between were a 18x7.5 or an 18x8, with a 245/40 tire.
