18x9.5 fitted finally
Hello all.
Ive been on the market for new wheels for awhile now. I was looking into buying some work wheels but didn't want to spend that much money for wheels atm since I'm on a budget. Decided to contact Tommy at wheeldude once again to see what he had as Far as new style rota wheels. I told him how I like the xd9 from work and he introduced me to the new Rota P1R it's pretty much a spot on replica of the xd9. Then I decided to go big since I'm used to playing it safe with wheel size I did the 18x9.5 30 offset I'm sitting on my current tires (nitto nt555 235/40/18). I had to roll my rear fenders a little more and get rid of the small lip on the front fenders. I used my Bc coils to my advanced and ran a tad bit more negitive camber up front to clear and be safe to drive even if I drove hard. All in all it works only rubbing I get is the front plastics when I turn and I can live with that. I want to thank Tommy at wheel dude for all the help with this setup. Still have some more tricks up my sleeves. Below are a few pics I took with my phone real quick. Will have professional photos up later this week.

Thanks guys I'm not a fan of black wheels either but they fit my old ones were powder coated candy blue. They look really nice in person tho. And the headlights are stock headlights I just baked them and blacked out the internals myself.

are you getting any camber wear? im trying to fit 9.5 35offset but still want to be functional and be able to drive it hard on corners as well without running to much camber
