Getting New Motegi Sx5 Wheels

[GalletGun]

Hey guys, I was going to be purchasing motegi sx5 18x7.5 wheels for my 2003black is300. here is a pic of the wheels.

I am wondering whats the largest tire size I can put on my car w/o having any rubbing problems. I am currently thinking about doing 235/40/18 all the way around. After I intall my new tire and wheel package on my car I am going to drop my car about 1 to 1.5 inches. So I wanted to take that into consideration as well. Any advice would be great.

What's the offset of the rims? And how wide are the rims?

+45mm offset and 6" backpsacing. I thought the 7.5 meant how wide the wheels are? :( sorry I am new to the world of aftermarket wheels.

Sorry, you did put 18x7.5 at the top of your post. Yes that is how wide the rims are. Those should be fine. You won't have any rubbing issues, even with the drop. When they come in and you get them on, you'll have to post your set up with pics in our Wheel set up thread at the top of the forum. :)

Well after putting much thought into it. I decided to go with a totally different wheel concept. I really like these Tenzo DC-5s in the bronze or black variation.

Which color you guys think will look better on a black is300

I like the Bronze.
