Sweeet! Yea man, i Love these wheels. I am really a fan of the aggressive lip look but these wheels made me fall in love with the concave look. And Zoeb will definitely take care of you.

265/30/19 on these? I am pretty sure the gap in the rear will appear for you if you ran 265/30's. I actually ran those first on my car and the gap was alot bigger.

Theres a few pics of the car when i had 265/30/19 in the rear. The springs were just put on so it didnt settle just yet but you can definitely tell the gap in the rear. GL!

You have spacers on your car right? Perhaps thats why your rubbing with the 275's? When your car is fully loaded that is?

Just wondering, cuz I just recieved these wheels in the mail yesterday! And I like the look of the 235 front and 275 rear.

On a side note, I am short 2 wheel caps on my order. But I'm sure Zoeb will make it right when I'm able to call him on Monday. Just an accident I'm sure.

Anyone else have slight, very minor inperfections on the wheels finish? I do, but only on two of the wheels Just wondering, and yes, I know I have OCD! Lol!

Nice touch. Post the pics bro!

I mentioned to Zoeb LC should produce the 818s in "Advan Gun Metal" and "Advan Gold" colors as well. I think those colors will be great addition to the 818 line up. Just NO TIME ATTACK PIN STRIPES PLEASE!!

Interesting...I could be wrong, but you're going to need 20mm+ spacers to flush those tires (I'm assuming they are 255s rear) to the fenders...if that's your plan.

Enough teasn', post pics with wheels on your car already.

Yea I am running 5mm spacers in the rear. I only rub with a full car but until i get my fenders rolled i gotta take em off. I would go with the 275/30 rear just because i like the wider meaner look. IMO. You lowered i assume?

No, not lowered yet. I am going to have to go with the 5mm spacers in the rear also so that I can run the same center cap as yours.

I should be fine with stock height right?

Yea, well I am going to see if a 3mm will help the cap clear today but i doubt it. There are raised caps as well if you dont want to run the 5mm spacers.

I am sure you will be fine with any rubbing issues but looks wise you will have a pretty significant gap on stock suspension. I dont think it would be 4x4 status but im sure all the critics here on CL would agree for you to lower the car GL
