Awesome! Hey where did you get your 5mm spacers from? I just got some off eBay also in 5mm but I honestly don't feel that comfortable putting them on my car because they are slightly bent, like they don't sit flat. It's nothing crazy but I'd rather them to sit perfectly flat on the hub.

The ones I got were cheaper, I guess that explains the quality lol. I'm just curious if it's safe to run them like that, maybe I am overthinking it.

Looks awesome. How much clearance is there between the face of the rim and the calipers? I assume that you went with the +25 for the extra clearance. Do you think a +35 would have cleared your BBK?

My firestorm FR-S with 18x8.75+35 in matte bronze on Continental DW 235/40/18 on Swift FR-S Spec Springs. Really satisfied with NL Motorings customer service, got the wheels much earlier than expected. I'm in love with with these wheels and this setup esp in terms of looks, fitment and weight. Haven't got to push the tires yet but I can already tell there's already tons of more grip.

I opted the +25 simpy because it looks more aggressive. |
