If i'm not looking at too much work i'd be keen to make them fit with the 06 guards (getting the inside lip cut off and rolled so i don't have to go stance nation mexi-camber) and still able to run some decent 255s

Quote from Perfect Run would be about 2k for rims, centre caps, some sxc wheel nuts and shipping.
So adding the 15% tax onto that would be about $2300. still cheaper than somewhere like JDM Concept if i'm not wrong?

These are 18x9.5+30 done correctly imo, looks like it would rub but bring that in another 8mm would make the diffrence no?

Jake I was a mexicant haha...
+38 is what I should have gone for but it would have still needed a 245/35 or 40 (lots of stretch) to not rub and be ok.
An 18x9 with +38 to +44 would be perfect on our 06s...my advice is fuck the kiwamis and go an 18x9(Rays/Weds etc) then run 255/35s easy.
Also +38 seems to be the limit if you want no rim poking out of the guards on the rear of the 06/07s and the rim pokes out of the guards a bit even there.

\back to my holidays in Africa
