i got a deal i couldnt pass up on these wheels. so i snapped some pics after a TEST FIT.

18x10.5 +22 all the way around 255/45 & 285/40
lowered on BC Racing coilovers

the rear is too aggressive so i am going to trade them for some 18x10.5 +30. i also need to raise the rear up a bit.

just trying to help out the community so here are the pics for you guys.. this way you can know what the sizes would look like ... i hope they help others looking or that come across a similar size and want to run them.

I don't care much for the stretched tires. The poke looks ok. Wheel style and finish looks awesome and the exterior of your car is A+

I like the style of the wheel, but it must be completely undriveable with those rears! :omfg:

I'd be interested to see it with the changed offset you mention :thumb2:

Also, I'd go 285 or 295 all round if you're on 10.5's and then you can rotate if need be :beerdrink:

the tires arent really that stretched ... compared to others at least .. if anything the fronts could be wider but i dont think would be able to fit them under the front fender.

but thanks for the compliments

yea it is. i even damaged the paint a bit on the drivers side .. >=[

i think that offset will work but as far as the 285 or 295 all around is going to be tough because of the front. but nothing some - camber cant fix!

Going with a 295 out back and 265's up front would be awesome! Flare the rear fenders a bit and this car would look as tough as Chuck Norris.

This car is by far my favorite on here. I can't wait to put on my Roush front bumper, just have to go to MI to pick it up from the in-laws. Did you go to a bodyshop and get the insides painted black and did you do it all at the same time? The wheels look great on there even if I pokes a bit. For sure post some pics up with the other set, I would like to see if this works out as I want to find a good set of 18's.

Holy shit that looks sick. She is a pretty bitch! I'm not that big of a fan of the 18" but this definitely change my mind. Keep the pics coming,one of my favorite cars on S197.

Looks great... Those rears are a big to much poke though, haha...

Are those just Rota Grids?

I really like it. Like said above, get the rears tucked in a bit more and it will be sicker..

the fenders are def going to get pulled and hopefully by then i'll need tires so i can go with something wider!

i wish our cars had an IRS, a little bit of camber would make that look just ridiculous.

Fuck i want a 2011
oh man so do i!
