Default Rice?

I was thinking about getting some 18x9 and 10s soon and i was going to throw 315s on the rear, but do you think that would be too ricey seeing as I am virtually stock as of now?

Nothing wrong with it besides the fact that those tires cost like a million dollars lol. Peoples definition of 'rice' is really terribad lately. Consider lowering your car if it's not. A stock height New Edge looks like a 4x4 truck.

I think you've just created a new word: Terribad = terrible + bad.

Anyways, just keep in mind that those 18's weigh a lot and you'll probably feel it.
I noticed it with just my 17X10.5's but I wouldn't consider it rice.

I just love how aggressive they look and I was going to go with some black bullits. I know they're so common but they just look amazing. Would lowering it be an issue if i want to go with some lts later on? I was thinking of a 1.75 drop in the front and a 1.5 in the back.

Any particular reason why? I feel like if I stay at 17s I might as well just get my stock wheels painted black.

Are you mentioning the weight because they are going to be a bitch to mount, or is the weight noticeable when you drive?
