Wheel Directory: Avarus AV8 18x8.0 +48



Just received these today from tirerack.com and installed them with Project Kics R40 (bronze) locking lug nuts that I had left over from my STI. Car is lowered on RCE Yellow springs, OEM shocks, Whiteline camber bolts (F -1.2 / R -2.0). There's not much space between the front shock spring mount and the wheel, so I might be looking into getting some ~5mm spacers.

Yes, they're quite heavy (tirerack lists them at 23#), but it shouldn't be a problem for me since I don't participate in autocross/HPDE/track events. This is a daily driven car that sees 100 miles every 6 days.

Do you have any eye-level pictures of the car?

Eye level from where? Head on? Side?

Hahaha. All of the above.
I am 5'10. Will you make sure that you make it eye-level to my eyes in particular, which are about 5 1/2 feet from the ground? Thanks!
