Just put a set of new rims on my car..

18x9 40mm offset Privat Fahren, Falken 245-40-18 tires (Room for 255-35-18).. They kinda remind me of the BMW rims..



Just in case this link doesnt work, its likely due to a firewall that doesn't allow port 9000.. Let me know if anyone has trouble with the image and I'll attach it here instead.

Car looks sweet! Tint those windows thogh; dark tint looks awesome on black car. Definately like the wheels though. How are the Falkens compared to stock?

Soon enough... Next mod is the Tein EDFC's and some tint.. the intercooler is a Buschur..

I actually don't think it looks all that bad not lowered, but I think about an inch in front might help, I really don't want to squish the intercooler/nose on things when I lower it htough..

however an adjustable setup is a good compromise since I can lower it only enough to have "the look"

Thanks guys..

Oh, and I'll post an assesment of the Falken all seasons I haven't had the chance to drive anywhere with them yet.. Their REALLY nice, similar tread to the Advans.. But I doubt they'll be as grippy.. But I live in the northeast so I wanted something that would give me decent foul weather handling too.. They are z rated and soft compound though.. I want to go for a quick drive, retorque them, and then I'll do some twisties..

The new rims look great, definitely complement the huge front mount.

How would you go about getting an alignment if you have to adjust the height and settings once in awhile with the edfc? nice ride

Where did you get them from? I've been looking for these wheels, but no one seems to have them in stock in the correct offset. I didn't even know they made them in a 40 offset until you told me at the Alley Pond Park Evo-NY meet.

Spacers up front ???

Nope.. no spacers.. 40mm, I got hooked up through DiscountTireDirect.. they seem to have the size available in limited quantities.

The EDFC is just for adjusting the shock firmness (firm/soft etc..) not ride height.. Though I'd love to have something to adjust the height, you are right though, it does need an alignment if you change the height..

Great, they look really nice . Made a huge improvement with the rims + Teins I bet!!

Do the tires stick out past the fender? Those were the first wheels I attempted to get, but in 17x9 or 8 I can't remember. Anyways, the tires stuck out pretty far from under fender and I returned them. But they do look good.
