Looks great! One question how do they fit? ie. was any fender rolling required and if not do they rub at all or stick out a bit with such an agressive offset. I've seen a set of these in 19" but from a straight shot behind they had just a little bit of wheel sticking out and they guy ran a ton of toe in to get them to tuch but that will have bad wear on tire but most importantly it doesn't give a full contact patch of the tire itself... I appreciate your input and again the car looks incredible. Also you may have mentioned but what are you doing for suspension and how do you like it. Have you noticed the car handles better with the new wheels?

Thanks,
Joe

i asked people and vendors on here a lot before i purchased the wheels and tires...and i ended up with the decision to put 265/35/18 tires because that's the widest i can go without any rubbing issues and without having to roll the fenders...it's my wife's car and i wanted to make it look nice without going through all the hassle of fender rolling and what not.

it was sticking out a lil bit before it was lowered and now it's dropped on eibach pro kit springs the wheels tucked in a lil bit so it doesn't stick out and the ride is actually pretty much close to stock...from what i've noticed so far. the only time i felt the rear rub was when i had my mom, my wife and my 9 month old daughter and her heavy car seat all in the car...which means if the car's loaded then it'll rub slightly when you're turning fast or going fast on the fwy and hitting lil dips/bumps. but besides that, there's no rubbing issues at all. it rides well and handles better than stock pretty much because it's lower to the ground and has wider tires. as far as camber i haven't gotten an alignment done yet but i'm pretty sure there shouldn't be much camber to it once i've done an alignment. i have the same suspension on my evo 8 and my tire wear doesn't even show it only wearing out on one side.

hope that helps
