18x8.75 +35 all around 245/35/18 dunlop sp sports eibach pro square setup. One thing I regret is should have got 235/35/18 for front wheels.. 245 gives me too much poke out about 8mm in the front but everything else.. just loving it.. no doubt.

My wife's car... Very soon she will be repainted and lower.

Now have some problems with OEM nuts. They are too big, D1 nuts is too big too. And I cant fix the wheels.

Couldn't you use a fender roller to help with that poke-out?

planning to put crash bolt to give a little bit of Camber in the front. IMO that's better idea than rolling up your fender.

Just ordered 527's 18x8.75 35 offset in matte bronze for my SWP BRZ. Next comes tires, will likely end up with Michelin Pilot Super Sports 225 40 18.

Had them on for ~6 months. No snow or extreme weather. No harsh abrasives. No curb hits or potholes. I guess this is what happens with cheap wheels...

WOW! Is the yellow in the headlight painted or reflected off a bulb?
