Maggs while your on what would you reccomend in a 8.5 x 18 looks wise I know the wider wheel the better the look but I'm not wanting to mess about with the arches, problem is alot of the pics are from the yanky stance scene

I second that and agree fully with Mags. Do you want to ellaborate on that? I used to work at Driftworks and sold 1000's of these wheels - the majority of which were used HARD on track. Never saw any issues.

It's hard to tell with pics of rota wheels that are 8.5 x 18 though cos alot of the ones pictured are wider to show the concave look

as a general rule of thumb with Rotas. Anything less than 9" wide or in the "drift" range isn't concave.

depends how low your car is... but realisitically you won't want to go any wider than an 8-8.5" rim and you want to keep a high 40+ offset really.
