My VIII with P45's and Stance coilies
 
My VIII fitted with her custom painted Rota P45r wheels - 18X9.5 - et30 - (fitted with 5mm Ichiba spacer kit & extended studs) 255/35/18's Falken tires and Stance GR+ coilovers.

I'd like to drop her a little more but I'd like to be able to keep my ability to fit a jack underneath the car. Chicago roads are pretty bumpy too.

Please feel free to comment :D

Looks sick, I'm about to get these wheels, probably dif offset though.

Thanks man... I am half prepared for all the Rota haters to beat down on my car.

I like the P45Rs. Crazy how a 255 is still stretched on that wide of a wheel.

Looks good. How's the ride comfort w/the stance coilovers? I have mine still in the box waiting to go on w/all my other stuff.

Dude get them on! Fitting is a piece of cake.

I'm not joking but the ride comfort is better than stock! It feels perfect... no more underdampened, oversprung feeling :D I have one click of dampening on all round and this feels perfect for road use on my daily driver so why change it? (I will no doubtably play around with the dampening on track). I had the car alligned to 0 toe all round with -2 camber on the front and -1 on the rear. Steering response is a little more weighty but this adds to greater feel through the wheel, with a quicker turn in the car feels super sharp. The car corners VERY flat on the road with much more grip. Obviously the suspension travel is reduced and you have to be a little bit more careful on ramps and bumps but I feel this is a small sacrifice for the gains in ride quality and handling. Oh and she looks pretty dappa too :lol:

I know I've just fitted them but stance FTMFW! Now lets see how durable they are.

I know right? Different brands/ models of tires obviously react differently when having them fitted on these wheels. Having researched what size tire to get for the wheels, I was a little shocked to see the amount of stretch occuring. Not a bad thing though... I like the look and it actually helps tuck the wheel under the fenders nicely. I rolled the rear fenders and have ZERO rub.... now how many Evo owners running 18X9.5's can say that? I'm confident that I could drop the car a good couple of inches without having any rub as well.

Yeah me too, they are Muteki's. I like them because they are splined and steel.... pretty light too.

Meeeeeee (pats self on back). I borrowed my freinds Eastwood fender rolling tool and had to buy a heat gun :D

Looks good! Not too crazy about adding spacers though...

There is this stigma about wheel spacers....especially here on the forums. We're only talking 5mm here! It's honestly no biggy if you use a hubcentric spacers with stronger, extended studs.

I really recommend Ichiba spacer kits. They fit great and do the job.
