I'm pretty sure Subydude.com will wait a few weeks to see if more than 3 people are interested for the group buy before ordering from Rota.

Can anyone verify that these are standard bronze in +30 offset and 265/35R18 tires? I want my car to look just like this!

Also in addition to rolling the rear and the front spacer, do people have any rubbing issues or anything with a 265 tire up front? I dont want any surprises. Thanks!!!

wow! 245s! So I assume this pic here is your car too? I found it saved from a long time ago.

Now in this pic those tires look way too skinny for 9.5" wide rims but in that pic at the track it looks perfect. Must be the angle the pics were taken. It looks like it is much lower in the track picture too. Is this true? Based on the pic I am posting now, I think I need to run at least 255s but have seen some cars with 265s and these P45Rs and it looks sick. I am just concerned with the practicality of running such a wide tire.

The perfect tire for these rims IMO is the BFG KDW in 265/35R18. Tell me these dont look PERFECT on this car??? Anyone run this size? Anyone have any problems like feathering or any interference with the car in any way under hard driving? Thanks!!!

I got my wheels today, Black with Red lip. I think they look SICK!

I went and put the tires on and balanced them........ I'm suppose to get my car back from the dealer tomorrow(Friday). I went with 255's. We'll see how it all ties in when I get them on my WW IX RS dropped on Tein S-Techs. I'll post pics as soon as I get them on.

Ouch on the rear fender rubbing. I can tell it's cracked up from rubbing. I think you guys refer to it as feathering. It only happens when I take quick elevation changes. Both front and rear appear to be rubbing against the tire well plastic in the rear near the top mostly, but only when undergoing shock loading. I'm currently running -2 camber in the front and -1.2 in the rear. Don't know the toe exactly, but since I have to get an exact alignment, it looks like a bit of toe-in both in the front and rear probably as a result of me changing the static ride height in the front which I did because my old bbs wheels were rubbing my ralliarmor mudflaps in the front.

I have the 'Time Attack' look flat black with red lip with 255/40/18 Falken Azenis RT-615 tires. +30 offset, 8mm spacers in front, fenders slightly rolled (mainly to get the protruding lip flattened out) mainly near the top center. the fronts still need to be dropped another 0.5" which is how they came from JIC pre-setup for our cars on 18's. If anyone was none the wiser I could have passed these off as Ralliart Evolution R-01's. Sorry my photo taking skills suck and the car is as dirty as dirty can get .
