18x7 would be the go. a couple of people have put 18's on N12's before. tight fit though.

i'm guessin that has coilovers will 18's still fix with kings springs

not sure man. i'm only running 17's myself. i think with the right offset and a little massage 18's will fit without resorting to coilovers.

that offset will still be damn close to rear shock and inner guard, you would likely need a spacer, for ideal fitment for what you're looking for you'd want something in the 20's but good luck finding that....

fuckoff! my wheels are a 35 offset and i don't need no illegal spacers! just the minor lipping of the guards and control arms is all thats needed with that offset!!!! doesn't touch the shockers either! damn near perfect offset for 7" wide rim running 205's!
how many times do i have to write this shit!

control arm modification..........
if you didnt do that you would need spacers.............

if you dont want to modify and you dont want spacers then you will need the correct offset to suit.

i'm not having a go at you so please dont have a go at me...

and there are some custom special made spacers that available to use that dont take up all that precious trhead length. i know this cause my bff had them made to suit sum tight 18s to his sigma. plenty of meat without compromise. n trust me they work. this thing is slammed on its belly and driven hard as a daily and the spacers have been doin real well. mind u they cost like 200 to get done but well worth the money.
jus my 2 cents worth.
good luck ith fittin them 18s bro

Ahhh ..... *ahem* well... umm dude...... regardless of how much they cost or how special they were, the spacers will take up as much stud length as they are thick m8.

This is something you cannot get around so id suggest your bff (whats that?) got seriously gypped with them.

5, 10 or 8mm (whatever) spacers take up precisely the same stud length whether they cost 20 bucks or 200 bucks, unless the wheels were drilled deeper where the nuts live.
I would certainly not like to remove any metal from that rather important area.
