Wooo! Those wheels look great!! Now I gotta debate if I feel like spending more money when I've only had my wheels for a few months. lol
The only thing I wish it had was more of a concave look. Do you have any pics showing the wheels at an angle?

Just curious, was anyone able to order these square? Or will trd ship you the staggered setup regardless?

I dunno why but I feel like these would look great with a FIVE axis body kit.

I wonder if you buy an FRS, if you can still get the dealers to fit the 5 axis kit for you or if that's no longer an option.

Folks, excuse me for my lack of tire/wheel knowledge so you may need to speak in layman's terms.
So considering that the square setup of 18x7.5" ordered by Speeddemon99 still required a different set of tires (215/40R18) up front to avoid rubbing that occured with the 225/40R18 tire. What benefit does this leave with having 18x7.5 square over the originally sold-as staggered setup with 18x7" upfront? TRD initially sells these with 18x7" upfront (with recommended 215/40R18 tire) and 18x7.5" in rear (with recommended 225/40R18 tire). Obviously it makes sense that people wanted square 18x7.5" setup so they can rotate tires to increase life, and also use the 225/40R18 upfront and have larger tire upfront for improved contact area & traction. But now that they require the smaller 215/40R18 tires up front anyway this benefit is lost, correct? Is running a 215/40R18 tire on a 18x7.5" rim less safe than running a 215/40R18 on 18x7"? Thanks in advance for any feedback |

The car looks great, thanks for sharing. I would probably just go 215 on all fours at 7.5 so that you can rotate the wheels all around. I'll bet the 225 will clear with coil overs.
