I was going to do a similar setup, but I'm still debating whether or not to do step lip or normal lip... I don't like how step lip makes your wheel face 1 inch smaller, but it doesn't look bad at all on your setup! You have great taste... except I won't go balls-out and lower it as much as you haha.

stepped always looks better unless its a smaller wheel... cant deal with wheels with flat lip in all honesty.
... car is lower now.

That one is I think, 18x10 +12 O-disk on 225/40/18 tyres? Looks like heaps of guard work needed to fit that and epic camber as mentioned before.

Sent you a PM...
@ebphoto BTW is this o-disk all around? Honestly thinking about running the same size up front. Not even sure if the A disk will clear a STI brembo caliper so if it doesn't guess I roll o disk all around with stock calipers or find a Wilwood setup that clears.

What did these wheels weigh? i'm thinking of getting 18x8.5 +40 front and +30 rear (not wanting to be too aggressive) don't wanna roll fenders. (im gunna be running 245/35 tires as well, a little wider than your 225s. love your setup though! :happy0180:

Not directed to me... but I can't say exactly what the 9.5s weight but I can tell you the 18x10.5s weight 23.4 pounds. Also I'll be running 245/40s on my set. My specs are a little different the eb's tho
