Thanks,

I have no idea what his prices are right now... I bought it during a Group buy. but I can tell you he is a great seller. Just send him a PM. ( Jay@us-autotech)

Also, I think you should get 19"s ... they just look perfect on our cars

You don't NEED to drop your car, lol, although people might tell you to do it because it looks better

I have 18X8.5 +30 front with 235/35/19 tires and I JUST BARLEY rub on the fender liner. But only on turns ...

Here are 2 pics. One of how awesome the rims look , and one of the very slight rubbing I get on turns. A few seconds with a heat gun can solve this though...





remember, I have 19s. Not sure about rubbing on 18"s, but since the rubbing is so slight on 19s, im pretty sure it wont rub for 18s. But now, about a month after installing my wheels, the rubbing has almost disappeared.

It looks like 10-nothing run to me. Team S5 up 10.

The biggest question is the rubbing. I am beginning to think that 19's will still rub. Is this the case for any owners?

I think if you go with a more conservative offset, the rubbing will go away.
( But the wheel wont be as flush with the fender.) +33 or +35 should do it on the S5 for 19X8.5 wheel. I have +30, and as you see, its rubs just ever so slightly.
