Just ordered black 18x10 fr500 +40 for the front and rear.(updated with fitment pics)

Got a hell of a deal on them. Just got off the phone with wheelreplicas. Can't wait to get them in. I'm 99% sure I'll be going with 285/40/18's front and back. I was wondering if anyone has happened to paint their wheels themselves, what products they've used, and how did it come out? I want these to be all black (no polished lip). They will be going on this.

I'll be mock fitting them as soon as they are received and i'll make sure to post detailed pictures on fitment in the wheel/tire section. I know a few people had questions about the 18x10 +40 up front.

A reference pic for those who have no clue what I'm rambling about.

Do those 285s fit on the front?

Yeah. The one in my original post has 315's on the front with a 9mm wheel spacer to keep the tire off the strut assembly. 285's won't pose a fitment problem as far as clearance (with or without a spacer). I'm just worried about aesthetics with the size of the sidewall and not having a "stretch" look to the tire while still being able to rotate.

So prob a 35 to play it safe

i'd say so...that is actually the exact conversation i had with my buddy at discount tire and staying with a 35 is what he told me to do. Also, i have the eibach pro kit which i dont believe is even a 2" drop. Stick with the 35, it looks great back there.

Look what UPS just dropped off. I have to run some errands, but I couldn't resist opening them up and taking a few pictures before doing so. I'll probably mount one of them on the front to see how it fits when I get back.
