That's a little tire on a lot of rim. These are nice rims with great GTR concave look. Would look better with it dropped a little more but then you may rub. Wish they made 18x9. The 18x8.5 +20 are nice as well for people that don't want that much width.

I might lower it more in the future. I probably would have to roll the rear fenders if I lower the rear. For now I want to drive it as is and see how things fair during track and autocross runs.

 

so, staggered set up is OK with AWD? looks awesome but i was told that we should have same size will for the AWD cars.

 

staggered offset setup is OK. staggered width setup is not OK on AWD cars.

 

Oh, my bad, I thought you had weighed the wheels, not the lug nuts.

All you guys talking about staggered setups... its the diameter/circumference of the tire that shouldn't be different. Doesn't really matter the offset or tread width or whatever, but you just can't have like 17" in the front and 18" in the rear or something like that. The reason why people say you can't have different tire widths front and rear is because the width affects the sidewall and therefore, the circumference of the tire. All 4 tires have to be the same circumference, no matter what the width, offset, rim diameter.

 

Nice man! Glad to see you finally got the wheels . Put some tire sauce on those things!

 

Thanks! I'll get some soon

 

sexy

 

Looks good man doesent look like they stick out in front do they

Do you have any more pics of the front ??
Wanted to see how much they stick out

 

I guess it's all for looks cause a 245 on 9.5 is silly when people are running the 255 on the stock wheels

9.5" wide wheel deserves a 265 series tires

 

It's not just for looks. The guy I bought my tires from, was a former solo2 STU national champion in his Evo and he ran 245/40/18 on 18x9.5's. They can't be that silly if they win championships.

 

staggered is ok aka wide track for road racing
its not ok when you run two different tire sizes

 

Bump

For more pics of the front please

 

note taken. i'll try to get some more this weekend. unfortunately, you'll see a lot of rock chips in the front

 

True, but it just seems pointless. Spend a bit less money on narrower rims if you are gonna run narrow tires. I have 275s on a 9" wheel which fit fine and 285s on a 10" wheel, and they are too narrow. I wouldn't think of anything less than a 275 on the 9.5" wheel
