I'm getting 18x9.5 et40 all around on 255/35/18, but I'm on coils and dropped down around 32mm all around.
Thanks for the advice. Is there a reason to run 9.5" versus 8.5"? I figure 8.5 would be enough upgrade from stock but I realize I need to find an offset that sits well with the car as well.

It's all a matter of choice and personal preference. I wanted more grip. I felt like 9.5 was about the right amount for what I wanted.

An 8.5 would be plenty and would look pretty good. I personally wanted the more concave look so I sent with 9.5. I'm not sure if you remember seeing my car at any of the meets. My current setup is 18x8 +35 and the rear wheel looks a bit tucked.

Looks awesome. Any informations about suspension you're running? any camber? And could you maybe add a side shoot to see how much the wheels poke out in the front?

Thanks

Thought this was a thread about wheels? :-p

KW V3s, 25mm drop (1 inch) all around, vorshlag camber hats, -2 degrees of camber all around.

Front is flush at the top, slight poke at the bottom, rear is sunken by about 5mm from the guard. Perfect fit in my opinion.
