new and looking for help

[claws]

Hello, I recently picked up a 2005 Arctic frost Pearl Solara SLE w/ a Tan top. I have added a backup camera that links to the Nav system and now I want to work on the wheels. I was hoping to get some thoughts on these wheels from Advanti: [url]http://advantiwheel.com/wheel.cfm?id=12[/url] A1 Rev (Charcoal w/ mirror machined face). They come in 17x7 and 18x8. I really like how the car rides now and I am not sure I want to mess with it. I will not be lowering or doing much else, mostly just want a different look since there are a fair amount in my area. If I did go 18 x 8 I wanted to know if anyone has put 225/50/r18 tires on or 225/50/r17 on 17x7? 1more q nd I'm done. where is the best place to get matching colored mud flaps. I haven't had much luck. I appreciate any feedback on any of the above topics.

Welcome to SG! The 225/50/r18's should not rub if you aren't lowered, if you do go that route you will definately rub on bumps. Someone else should chime in and verify. What offset are you planning to get?

I will have to check with Advanti. The sites I found that sell them just list the offset as HPO, which I think should be fine if I stay with 17's, but I do need to get the exact offset. Any opinions on those wheels from Advanti? I haven't been able to find any pics of them on cars, but I do like the way they look.
