So I finally sold my bbs RS reps, and bought these babies :D



8.5 all round, still not sure of the tyres. Any suggestions? So far 215/40/18 Seems to be the best choice for a static ride.

Good pick, 205/40 or 215/40 will be fine with the 8.5 square. :thumbsup:

Love my staggered set, I'm running 205/40 fronts and 215/40 rears.

Depends on offset and if you have coilovers or springs. Unless you are on coils or have a really low offset, 225/40/18s look good and fill out the wheelwells better with 8.5 wheels. Tiny profiles look yucky with a lot of wheel gap, so only go with an aggressive stretch if you can get nice n low and can adjust the fit precisely and evenly.

I love those wheels btw. Nice choice. Be sure to post updates and pictures.

Full specs of the wheels: 8.5 18x112 et 40 :)

As for the 225/40/18 tyre, i already ran that type of tyre on a 18x112 7.0 et 35 wheel, and i rubbed like crazy without even going to low. The roads out here aten't the best either, so 215/40/18 seems to be the best for my situation. And yes piccies when i fit and run these babies :D
