those are nice, what color 6 do u have though?

as for tires go with the falken ziex or the toyo (both have decent performance meshed with reliability for everyday use)

Remember, try to get the offset to be greater than 45. Otherwise, you might have to roll your fender.

BTW, I don't see the offset listed on tirerack.

For tires, Toyo is #1 in this forum. Suggested size is 225/45R17.

Hi thanks giving tire ideas; my 6 is Blazing Copper, also wondering do you think the 18x7.5 would cause any rubbing?

Also have been looking at same wheel except in chrome kinda torn now
