New Rota Wheels On
Here's my new setup 18 x 8.5 +48 Rota DPT's. I'm lowered on Eibach Pro's as well. Thanks to Tommy at Wheeldude for helping me out and getting eveything setup.

A 3-5mm spacer will allow you to get your center caps on the front wheels, I have the same specs and it works perfectly.

Or get the GT3 caps instead of the Daytona ones. The guys at WheelDude were very helpful in getting me the right caps that would fit my Grids.

Nice pick up
I was gonna order the DPT's too..

Are those 225-40-18 tires?
if it is, are the rims sticking out more or is the rubber overlapping it?

The last pic you can see its a 225/40, they appear to be fairly flush. However its more the "rim guard" part of the tire sitting flush and the tread portion having a slight stretch inwards.
