My X is done...for a little while...

Well I finally got all my parts installed today. Swift springs, Whiteline RCK, Perrin rear sway bar and my Rota DPT's in Hyper Silver (18x9.5 +22) w/ 265 Hankook Ventus V12's. Car definitely has a LOT less body roll now, and it seems like you'd have to be pretty mean to it to break these massive tires loose. I didn't like the centercaps that came with them, so I'll have to figure something else out. It's been raining all day, so she's not too clean, but lemme know what you think! After seeing these wheels on, I'm really glad I didn't end up dropping $3k for CE28's!
Thanks Wheeldude for a great deal and awesome wheels!

Yeah, that's what you think now... once you get used to all of that you'll be itching for more

Car looks nice and clean. I kind of like the look without the center caps myself.

No rubbing at all but the rears are rolled a little. The tires really are shockingly wide in the back when you see them up close. +22 is definitely the max offset needed for a DD!

You might have to pull them a little depending on how low your car is. With my suspension compressed, the tire JUST fits under the fender. Good luck!

Looks good. A little lower and it will be perfect.

I'm on Swifts like you. I plan on alignment after install and then see how much rolling I need to do from there.
