depends. whats the width.

the only buddy clubs that'll ideally fit are the QF racing forged. Expect them to be fukin expensive but super light. Retails for $600 for the rear, $570-580 for the front.

Rear: 17x9 +63
Front: 17x7.5 +47 or (17x8+45, if you want more agressive for the front)

any other buddyclubs beside these are pretty much whack.

Should've provided more details...here it goes:

Buddy Club P1 Racing II 18" Gunmetal Rims + Tires 5x114.3. Here's a site for the wheels: http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/wheelmodels/465 . I'm not sure if the Buddy Clubs are 18x8 or 18x9...

well, im assuming from your description above that you wanted to run a non-staggered fitment, but i don't think they would be a good idea for you. Stay Staggered.

your best bet would be runnin 9" +45 for the rear and an 8" +45 up front. YOU WILL RUB, if you don't do one of the following.

1) Roll Fenders

or...

2) run a stretched tire.

If u run a stretched tire, maybe a 225/235 in the rear and a 215 up front, you should be okay without rolling your fenders but your going to give up some contact patch. If you want to stay or gain your contact to the ground, roll your fenders and stick some meatier tires under there such as a 255/225.

or.....

just buy better fitting Wheels.

If you do want to run these aggressive offsets, just make sure you do your homework on wheel fittment. Theres many ways to work around it.
