I know I could have gone with 12 or even 15 mm as some have done, but the 10mm make it look great without going to to much outside the fender line. The new rims look fabulous....pictures to come once I wash the car and snap photo's. The past couple weeks have been busy....

Now, with better pictures as I took them before the sun had gone down...

pics plz. ;)

does it drive/handle any different with the spacers? imo poking the wheels past the fender looks terrible. i would get 10mm spacers in the rear but i'm planning on going with 285s instead of my 275s. can't do anything with my front tires. they already rub (at bumps) with my drop and tuck right at the fender line.

:rofl at edit... sorry :(

I've got 255/40 18's on rear and 245/40 18's on front....and it rides very well, if I say so myself. The odometer is off by approx 3% which is negligible...

wow that looks awesome! I've been thinking about doing this to my car as well, do you have any suspension mods to your car? It sits so perfectly in the pictures.

No suspension modifications as it is my winter vehicle as well, so I want to ride it at stock height. The 18" seem to fit the wheel well so nicely, albeit, I do ride 255/40 R18's on back and 245/40 R18's in front, so the tire dimensions are a little larger then stock....but it does match GPS metric measurements. :-)
