Great looking wheels. Personally a bit tired of the "murdered out" black on black look and would have gone with a little more color, but these look great and functional too

I appreciate your response. I've been eyeing a set of Advans, I really like the RZs and the new TCIIIs.
So did that cost extra to get them in that custom bolt pattern?

Just wondering if u have rear lower control arm?
Or is this wheels offset straight from just lowering?
Perfect sitting so flush with the guard
Best looking wheels combo

No LCA's at the moment. I'm lowered on KW v3's by about 2" and that gave a natural camber of about -3* in the rear. I wanted less camber so I installed H&R Camber Bolts and dialed it back out to -2.1*. Camber Bolts installed in the front as well and that is set at -1.5*.

LOL, I'm missing some paint. The thing I dislike about the Five AD front lip is how far it sticks out in the front. In the middle of the car it seems like it extends the front of the car by 6"! This makes it a PITA for any driveway. But I get by and it's only some minor scrapage.

So you ordered a square setup right? 18x8.5 front and back.

personally i'd go 245/35/18 all around. the aspect ratio is closest to stock at that size

I concur. I would have put that on the front but I wanted to keep the profile look the same and a 245 would look perfectly "square" on the front when a 255 is ever so slightly stretched on a 9.5" rear. The only thing about wider tires in the front is you will be more prone to tracking but the combo is so light it shouldn't really matter.
