FYI. You'll probably save money in the future by ordering tires from Discount Tires Direct. They offer free shipping to Canada. The tariffs are automatically added, but it looks like you'll still save a decent of money versus buying in Canada.

57xtreme don't come in 8" width - only 8.5 and 9.5. actually i wish they came in 8 and 9 instead, as they do poke out very slightly from the fenders. if you want to run a staggered setup, you'd be running 8.5 +33 in front, and 9.5 +40 in the rear.

Thinking about pulling the trigger on Enkei Raijin rims but im curious if I will suffer much from this setup?

I am going to stay stock height
Fronts: 18x8 45offset
Rear: 18x9.5 45offset

Is there a chance of rubbing at the suspension? thanks for the input on the 57xtreme rims

@GoForStoke recently got enkei raijin's installed 8F, 9R with 235/40 F and 255/35 R tires. i believe they're with +45 offset, no rubbing, but PM him for details. they look really nice on his car.

8" with +45 offset in front is not going to be flush with the fender, i believe.

That high of an offset will tuck a bit for the enkeis. The wheel widths that shiumai posted for the 57extremes will almost be perfectly flush with the fenders. No rubbing but the rears would need a tiny bit of negative camber most likely. I have 18x9.5+42 with 255 width tires in the back and I'm getting a tiny bit of rub.

Any reason you're still going to buy the 57xtremes?

I'm still torn up about going bremmers + other mods or 57xtremes/kiwamis/etc. this year.

The more and more I look at it, it reminds me of PF01s, if I do end up deciding on Kiwamis I should just push for PF01s and save $1k lol

So far, not that I know of lol. But http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39679
has the same wheels but did a square set-up with 18x9 +42 all around and he has a picture of how close it is to the front strut.

Just for the sake of having the legit rims BUT by the time I get to spending the extra money saved on turbo and other parts...probably won't care haha
