Planning on getting eibach springs, and any 25mm spacer that's legit. My main concern is at the end of the day I don't have enough for new tires. I want to get a wheel that's going to fit the stock tire. Any suggestion on a really good wheel? I haven't heard too many good things about rotas. I have about 1100 dollar budget for some good wheels. What do you guys suggest

 

Given that an 8.5"-wide wheel is near-optimal for a 245/40 and the OE wheels are quite good (weight- and strength-wise), I suggest not getting new wheels.

Problem solved.

 

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe ill plastidipped them or powercoat whatever, I'm having problems finding a good color wheel because I've never seen anything other than stock on the cosmic blue like I have

 

I now see the real point of this thread and will move it to the correct place. You got me.

 

For my cosmic blue, I got my Rays Gramlights 57D used for less than 1100 bucks with tires. search around. you will find a good deal.

18x9.5 +22, 265/35

 

IMO if you're getting wheels you should skip spacers it'll save you the $250-300? But since you can get the wheels with a low offset and still have it poke out. Here's a picture of my Evo with enkei rpf1s 18x9.5 +15 with stock tires. There is a slight stretch but nothing crazy and unreasonable. These rims costed me $1100 at Oakos and it took them about 5 days to arrive.




Anyways man, good luck! Post up pics when you get everything.

 

I love that phrase "poke out". AKA past flush.

Back to the original question, save money for better tires, keep stock rims.
