I'm running flat caps I found on eBay. Been using them about 6 months with no issues. Even with a few autocross days

They're a little on the soft side and chip easily and some of the gold painted versions have had the paint literally fall off but other than that they're good solid wheels, the look you get for the price is unbeatable

18" XXR Chromium Black 18x7.5 Front 18.8.75 Rear FYI, 9.75 will poke out of the back. 8.75 will poke out of the front. If you want flush with stock fenders, 7.5 in the front...8.75 in the rear.

8.75 will be flush on front if you run -1.5 to -2 degrees camber up front. It's a better setup for handling IMHO.

I've never seen a picture of with 8.75 up front be flush. If someone has a picture of that I'd love to see it. (527's or 530's)

I'll take a pic of mine at -1.0 (going to slot my knuckles next spring), best I have now is camber bolts. Mine are almost flush, also depends on what you call flush I guess - with -2 camber up front tops will be flush with the fender. Bottoms will still be out slightly if you took a plumb bob to the thing, but that gives it a nice aggressive look I'd think with that much camber up front the narrow rims would look too sunken for my taste, ymmv. IMHO from a performance standpoint square is better for these cars.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
