TDR PR1 (17") vs PR1.2 (18")

I'm having some problem deciding between PR1 and PR1.2
I know PR1 has more clearance for BBK
I'm looking for either PR1 in 17" (Black) or PR1.2 in 18" (Black)

I think i can get the PR1.2 in 18" from coopersport.ca but I don't know because from the TDR website, it lists 18" x 8 that might be a bit too much for the MCS? What I am looking for is 18" x 7.5 or 17" x 7.5.

PS: I'm on Eibach right now so I"m scare that it might rub with the 18

That is why I am slowly leaning towards the PR1 but they only make it in 17" x 7. Plus is the PR1.2 look smaller than the PR1? So, PR1.2 would look like a 17" PR1 then cuz of the lip

And I was wonder what offset can I get with the 17 x 7 PR1 and the PR1.2 18" or 17" x 7.5

Please help me decide cuz I need new wheels asap

hey bud, actually hamann wheels are 18x8 too. if u think it's too much to handle in terms of width of the wheel, i don't think it's a bid deal, since u will be only running 215 or 225 at most. it's not like dragging. what u should worry about is the correct offset tho, cause u r running eibach springs, it doens't have adjustment, maybe consider that when choosing ur wheels. maybe some wheels expert here can help you alittle on if 18x8 or 18x7.5 will make a difference in terms of offsets fitment. hope any of this will help in ur fustrating dilema~!
