Maybe you shouldn't have posted in this thread to begin with. Looks good Yoan some people dont know about fitment yet.

My previous car on 19's

Just had mine done today...

XXR 527 Flat Black
18x8.75 +35 all around
225/40R18 HTR Z3 all around

Seems like I can pull off a +20 with no problem, too late now...........

Need to blackout the grille and middle of the front lip...and paint the calipers!

Looking good! Are you on stock ride height? And running a 255 in the rear on a 18x8 rim?

i dont get why people say its hard to believe that people are riding on 18s. and that our cars only look good on 19s or 20s. i prefer 18s because i can make my car sit a lot lower than 19s or 20s
people even tell me my car looks like its sitting on 19s, so i guess not everyone can make 18s work
