Check out the other rim post below. It will ALL depend on the OFFSET you use. You can run a 18 X 8 with a +50 or higher offset and have no problem. Then you can run a 17 X 7 with a +38 offset and rub. Finding the correct offset for the Legend is not easy, as most rim aside from the expensive 3 piece rims usually have too low an offset. With a 17 X 71/2, I suggest at least +48 or higher. With a 17 X 7, I still suggest a +48 or higher, but a bare minimum of +45 at leaast.

The offset on the rims i want i think is a +47 on 18x7 1/2. Will this work and not rub? And if i had about 3 adult size people in my car and i hit a bump would it rub and i also have eibach springs and koni shocks(with the offset i named above)?<br>thanks

As long as you're running a 215 section tire you should be OK. The if is "Is the offset, as advertised?".

.teampryou can get 18's you just have to set the koni adjustables to the firm setting and the car will no longer bounce after hitting a bump therefore not scraping wheel.Also you can buy fender flares which gives it a great look as well. www.teamprototype.com
