Default A sample of whats to come...

I recieved my wheels I ordered. Thanks to Jack at rbwheels.com for a smooth transaction. Unfortunantly, the wheels dont quite clear LS400 brakes so I ordered 10mm spacers. With that in mind, should I run 235/40/18 tires so I dont rub? The fenders are already rolled. The spacers will essentially make the offset +23 (+33 originally)



And a pic of my weekend ride for giggles.

Sick, I love your NSX.

Hmm I've been monitoring RB wheels for a new setup, if they ever have yours in 19''s I'm buying

How wide are the wheels (wondering how much you'll be stretching the 235s)? +23 should be fine with rolled fenders

Thanks the compliments. What can I say, I love cars. This is my first Toyota/Lexus and I'm enjoying it so far. Been a long time Honda boy so the change is nice. Whats best is I can run low offset wheels with some nice lips now lol.

those wheels are nice.... well 18x8.5 front at 33+ offset with 235/40/18 will rub slightly but also depends how low you are.
Take my car for example.

im running 18x8.5 front too with +28 offset with 225/40/18's and i rub when im making turns or when i exit a parking lot. Its a slight rub, but it rubs.... but look at my sig and see how low i am... not extremely low. probably a finger gap or so.
in the other hand, i believe that if you were running the basic drop on the sc h&r springs, i dont think you would really rub.

Are your fenders rolled? My car already came with rolled fenders. Also, I plan on getting Megan coils and dropping it to a zero finger gap. With the spacers I will be sitting at +23. Maybe I should go 225's to be safe?
