So I picked up my wheels today. Staggered 57Xtreme 18x8.5 +33 225/40 front 18x9.5 +40 275/35 rear. Semi-Gloss black in color. I will get picks up tomorrow night as soon As I get my springs on. I have Eibach Pro Kit springs. I love the look of the wide tire out back. I experienced no rubbing all the way back to Fort Irwin from Santa Fe Springs. Took the 605, to the 210 and finally the 15. The 605 and 210 for those that don't know are pretty bumpy.

Nice, I'm waiting for for xtremes to arrive, gone the graphite machined ones though with an 18x8.5+45 square set up.

Pin Flare · 03-08-2013, 03:00 AM

Nice! I wanted the machine ones so bad. According to this forum they don't make them for 18" wheels except for one guy who's car was in SEMA and he has them. But the shop today said every other country gets them machined except America... So idk.

glad you enjoy them. Now post pics.

I already took the pictures with stock suspension. But I have a windows phone and it Won't let me upload pics like my old Android.

just86 · 03-08-2013, 06:46 PM

wow! 255 on 18x9.5 and still poke a little bit

Pin Flare · 03-09-2013, 12:07 AM

Sorry it took so long to get pics up. But here ya go. Car is lowered one inch on Eibach Pro Kit springs. There is no rubbing lock to lock or over major bumps. Taking a close look at the fender wells I could probably even go with a 285. Do I need a 275? No. Does it look bad arse? Hell yeah!

We are gonna take more pictures tomorrow in Vegas. I didnt get my springs on till it was already dark. Sorry for the phone pics. Better pics coming soon. I promise!

Your setup looks sick bro!

Summer is coming and I want to order my new wheels. Thinking of getting the 57Extreme 18". Where is everyone ordering their gram lights from?

congiiee · 03-09-2013, 08:21 PM

so why is everyone getting uneven tire widths in the front and rear wheels? 35mm in the back and 40mm in the front.

Jeffboyarrdee · 03-11-2013, 08:58 AM

Wow so youre just on lowering springs with 9.5 inch wide rears. Thats pretty good that you have no rubbing. I was thinking of going 18 x 8.5 square. Maybe i dont need coilovers.

I will still get coilovers I just don't know when. I like the stance it has now, though a little lower would be cool. But I think its time to start saving for a turbo kit.

because 225/40 and 255/35 are closest in rolling diameter. if you put 255/40 in the rear, the overall height wuld actually be bigger than da front

dunno how to explain properly....but google a tire size calculator. you input different sizes and it will tell u the overall difference in %. you would want to get tires that differ less than 2 to 3% from the stock size. 225/40 is -1.9% from the stock oem size. 255/35 is -1.6%
