18s are just fine! The C6R races with 18s on the corners. IMO they look as good or better than 19s. Just checkin how your front spacers worked out. Sent a PM.

I saw a guy with a white GS 300 on MMRs HR1s. They looked perfect on that car.

Default 19's okay for...

Dallas, SoCal, Arizona, Florida where the weather is moderate and the roads good. In the midwest, with our snow/ice/potholes, I've found the 19's to be too little protection for the rims, and thus have scarred up a $1000 set of Falken's. Am going back to 18's in the spring.

I listed the offsets in the first post, but here they are again.

Front: 18x8" -40 mm offset
Rear: 18x9" -35 mm offset

BTW, I recently replaced my OEM rears with a lower profile tire (255/35-18), and it looks and fits a lot better. The reduced diameter also gives a 3.7% increase in torque to the ground.

Sorry. Thanks for answer.
¿In front, the 40mm includes the 5mm added with spacer?
Sorry again if I hammering you. Best regards

Looks really good! Any weight savings with this wheel over the stockers?

I don't know how they compare to stock in regard to weight.

The 40 mm offset does not include the 5 mm spacer. With the spacers, I'm running -35 mm all the way around.
