Default Pics of new shoes.

Snapped a few pictures after I put on the wheels today. I still need to get spacers for the rear wheels and go lower but here's how it sits for now. Enjoy...

1) not called rims (thank you, very much!!!)
2) very nice. I love that style wheel.

Specs? brand, size, offset, etc.

That looks awesome! Nice pics.

Personally, I wouldn't change the stance much at all. Looks good the way it is.

Thanks for the compliments guys. The wheels are 18x9 with 245/40 tires front and rear. The rears are sunk in a little and the fronts are pretty flush so I think some rear adapters would make it look better. Right now im just dropped on eibach springs but i like it because these cali roads are horrible and the speed humps and dips are like a foot high and deep. No fender rolling and no rub which is what i like.

No the miata and subie are my brother in laws. The subie is 20g upgrade and the miata is supercharged.

The wheels are ESM 004 in 18x9 with 40 offset and they have a 3" lip. The wheels wouldn't clear stock front calipers with out a 12mm spacer because the face is too straight and flat. Kind of hard to explain but a 18x9 in these specs would require a very thin x-factor.

I'm not a big fan of spacers just get right width and offset in the first place.
