Yeah I think that will be fine on the rear, but you will need adjustable camber bolts or LCAs to fit 265s with +40 offset. These wheels have a HUGE lip on them, so it makes even 255s look like they're stretched like hell. 265s will look much better.

I can't speak for the front because I'm running 18x8.5s up front.

Are those Grams matte?

Awesome pictures everyone.

From what I've seen for the fronts people should run 245 /40 /18 right? The 235s seem to be stretched

Hey F**ker! It's bad enough you've got me buying all this alcantara crap, just trying to save money over here and your not helping! Though to be honest I was screwed soon as I opened the thread.

Looks absolutly perfect on your car Jive!

The choice in tire is great with just enough meat!

BRZPDX · 08-22-2014, 09:44 PM

without any blue or red accents (my car is SWP with a lot of CF/black accents), which center cap would fit in most? All I see is red or blue, and the other 57xtreme cap that has way too much chrome which I don't like.

If I match the blue lugs with the blue center cap, and maybe one blue accent on the car, that would be enough? uggh I can't decide..

really nice pics in this thread, @immaculate & @Jive Turkey. Having a real hard time deciding between matte graphite and black. Black looks more sinister/aggressive, but graphite looks good too.

Sorry if this has been answered, I've trolled around and am finding conflicting answers so I'll just ask.

I have the 18x8.5 +35 on the front running 235/40/18 and 18x9.5 +40 on the rear with 255/35/18. I want to get TRD springs but don't know if I'll have issues with rubbing/etc. I'll get coils eventually, but I'm trying to spend money on other parts ATM. Will this set up work? Also, will I need rear LCAs or anything to make it fit? What if I run 265s on the rear?

Best tire option for 18x8.5 +33 all around dropped on eibach pro kit springs (1 inch)

Did you have to drill to get the front bumper canard on?
