Default Enkei LX-M's on a 250

Is anyone running this rim? I'm not a big fan of chrome, but i think the design is alright, and the price is pretty good.



looking to buy some new rims and trying to keep within a 1600 dollar budget

also, these would be 18x8.5 in both front and rear with a 38 offset.... would I have any difficulties with the fitment on the front?

You are going to be fine with the front and rear! No rub issues with that offset! I am +31 on the front and I only had minor rub on large dips fully turned and it didnt do it all the time.

Post us pics when you have them installed

They look good Too bad your roads are so bad! 19's would look sweet in that style. Oh well, you're smart to stay with 18's if you've got major pot holes, etc.

Some ppl said they look like 17 because the car is not low enough.. That what the car with 18 inch rim look small.. My car lower possible like 2.8 or more and the 18 inch rims look perfect on my ride.. I rather stick 18 inch then 19 inch.. Sorry that is my way
