your wheels suck you need to get with the times.
This is how its done .
chrome sc 430 18" wheels with silver center caps running 235 35 18 Michelin alpin sports.
Then in the rear the good ol OZ opera 20X9.5 with toyo t1-r's.
Kidding i shredded a rear tire last night and it may still snow again.
I like the wheels but i never thought of that style as you.

thats because ur wheels stick inwards 2cm more than mine

u know the lower the offset the more outwards the wheel is in relation to the body...

The rears are tool rolled and the fronts bat rolled.
If you look close the front fenders were rolled with the bat almost a full inch and a half out to fit my 255's up front.
All 4 corners have 15mm spacers.
I hate the SC430 wheels also but with the updated centers so they are 5 spokes they look much better . As well they are bearable because of the 15mm spacers . Otherwise i would have my stock 16's which do not look too bad once the spacers are added as well.

Hey you want to go low then you have to pay with curb damage so my bumper took a hit for the team. Sucks but should be fixed soon.
