Looks absolutely awesome, 2.5tsoarer!

As for me, I've got 18's on mine, because I couldn't afford the 19's and I hate Sydney roads.

Any rubbing problems? Did you have to roll the fenders?

What offset are you running front and rear?
Thanks,

I think I have 46+ front offset and 37+ rear.
I dont really like the look of putting a really wide tire on a narrow wheel.
275 is for 10" rim and your installing 295 and 9.5" ? thats more for the mullet sporting camaro crowd I think. You might as well paint the tire letters white. Just Kidding.

lol there isn't that much difference betweeen 275 and 295 in my book =x. 275 is best for 9.5 rims. i think 285-295 is best for 10's. my friend has a 10 inch rim and his 275s curve in way too much.

I have altstadt Type 1 wheels, 18x8.5 in front, and 18x9.5 in the rear. Never any rubbing. Ride very well and handle excellently!! They will look even better after I install the TEIN FLEX Coilovers and lower the car.
