not that I've found, I wish there were as it may alleviate my fear about them being a flat face

Moving the hub 3mm inward isn't going to make that much of a difference when you compare that to an extra inch of wheel and -5mm on the hub on the 9.5. I wouldn't expect anything other than a "slight" concave on the 42mm 8.5.
It would make sense that way, either way I'm just hoping for it not to be a flat face.

For the other post, I'm not running coilovers but will be in the near future.

Will post pics when its all done.

Hey I found a few pictures of the face 2 wheel, but it is 19x8.5. So same width but different height. They do look more concave than the standard wheel.

Oh sneaky, they push the spokes out a bit more than usual to make it more aggressive.

WOW i did not know that the 8.5 did not have a much concave as the 9.5s i might have to consider different wheels now :/ and what does OP mean by staggered setup? how would this effect how the concave works?

A staggered setup is when you put smaller wheels up front and wider wheels out back. Like 18x8.5 up front and 18x9.5 at the rear. Usually this decreases oversteer but it can also cause understeer. So I want to stay away from this.

Also before you give up on these wheels, wait for pics of the Face 2 design, they look more concave than these ones, but are still 8.5" wide!

Fine. I'll find a decent pic of my car. You guys put the peer pressure on me!

18x8.5 +33 all around
Michelin Pilot Super Sport 245/35/18
Eibach Pro Kit

This was before I put in camber bolts that helped tuck the front in a little bit.

Those look really nice, I am convinced now. These are the wheels I want. Thank you very much sir!

Thanks, that makes sense. I'm not exactly giving up on these wheels, the two things keeping me looking at other options is the price and the color. I feel like the graphite is too dark for WRB and sunlight silver is too bright.

Flat looks ok but if there was option in 8.5" that had some concave this could swing my winter wheel save up program.
