Default Perfect fitting wheels

Hey guys I'm on stock height on my 07is I was wondering what would be a nice setup for a set of 18s that wouldn't rub but fill most of the wheel gaps so if some of you could help me out and even show me some pics of what kind of setup your running!

A larger rim won't necessarily fill any of the wheel gap. When you increase wheel diameter, you still need to keep the overall diameter of the wheel & tire approximately the same as the OEM specs so that instrumentation like your speedometer are not incorrect. So if you increase the size of your wheel, you will use a tire with a smaller sidewall to maintain a relatively consistent overall diameter.

If you want to fill in the gap, you need to lower the car.
