I found a set of wheels I like that look similar to the "prototype wheels" Question is, since they list a 18X9 with a 25mm offset and a 6" backside will these stick out or rub on the inside?

The lower the offset, the more it would stick out. Marauders are supposed to have a 50 offset. In conversion, 25mm is supposed to be just short of 1". This means the wheel would stick out that much more than it is now.

Each person has their own opinion on what looks good. I went after a set of ROH Drift wheels. I did try an ROH with a +35 and didn't like the look at all. So I had picked an 18 x 8 +49 ROH.. and I will have the rear ones widened to get the width I need. (since the ROH wheels in the wider width were lower offset and stuck out too much).

I think the 18X10 with the +41 offset will work...but I think that will depend on where they put the two inches in relation to our whees. I am going with an 18 X 9 in the rear with a +38 offset and according to a number of different calculators with stock wheels I am pushing out about .9 inches...and looking at the rears from the top we got that little to give.

Last post look at pic.

I don't know if it's the black car or the angle of the pic, but I'm not liking the look to much.
