1) Dump those wheels, they look like they're the wrong offset.

2) If you MUST have 18s you're probably going to have to roll your fenders and run a lot of negative camber to tuck the wheels in more, even with the correct offset.

Definitely too low of an offset. I dont' think you can do anything to fix that. I'd sell them and get the right rims.

I think it looks pretty cool. What kind of wheels? I'd go to a body shop and see if they can roll your fenders - should cost $100 - $200 but then you could keep the wheels.

if you do it right there is a device that attaches to you wheel studs. It is a swing arm type a deal with a roller on the end. You heat up the paint a bit so it doesn't crack and use this roller to roll out the edge of the fender well to give you a bit more space for the tire.

Some folks use baseball bats but I'd have it professionally done and have it done right.
