They just look like they need more rubber. I know it's a fashion thing, but why cop the weight penalty of wide wheels if you are still going to fit skinny tyres?

I have wider tires I'm putting on for SEMA, but this is what we had laying around so we used this

I can easily throw 235/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear, but I just don't have them laying around

I'm putting RS3's on the car next week, so it will fill up the fender it bit more and they run wider than the average tire.

Could you give specifics on the tail lights? What kind of tint did you use? I think it would look great on my WRB

From the OP he said that they are painted NOT tinted.

"...with the new painted taillights (from RJ's paint shop in Pleasanton, CA)..."

Looks very, very nice. Interested to hear if there's any rubbing going on at that height with that offset.

no rubbing at all, this offset works perfect with these tire sizes...and our car is EXTREMELY low and it's still fine.

Is a square setup in 17x9 possible?

Also what is the percentage on your window tint?

Making me regret not getting whiteout! It is beautiful!

yup, 17x9 +42 all around works well

20% rear and 35% front

Curious about the taillights...just wondering what you told the paint shop when you took the lights in? Or what kind of paint they used? I've seen the DIY taillights, and it always seems to come out a bit "matte" or cloudy. Your taillights look crystal clear, so I was just wondering if you had any more info on that in case I wanted to do the same.

Thanks, and car looks great!

Inspiring. Nice work guys, looks fantastic. Each to their own but ppl need to stop painting the tail lights. might look better with stock lights IMO

Beautiful

x2 would like to know more about how you got them done. They look great, better than most of the ones I've seen on here.
