Cool Finally pulled the trigger on some wheels and tires!

Nothing too special, and doesn't qualify for the aggressive fitment thread. But I think they turned out great!

MB Battles - 18 x 8 +30 all the way around, wrapped in 245/40ZR 18 Kumho Ecsta 4X Tires. Lowered on Megan Racing springs.

A big thanks to J-bunchofnumbers and everyone else on the "Will it Fit" thread for helping me out with making the right decisions.

Now please excuse me while i ***** out some pictures of my car...

Thanks!

More than happy with them for just a DD. Really wanted to go 9" but couldn't fit the offset I wanted without rolling fenders.

Yea if I ever decide to roll my fenders then coilovers will come soon after so I can get lower lol, right now I'm as close as I can possibly be without rubbing. So that's all still up in the air depending on funding

^ Thanks!

And I didn't quite get max drop because I'm still on stock shocks. I'm assuming if I upgraded I could get a little lower with the springs that I have, but without any fender work I wouldn't want to be any lower yet lol

No I didn't, I used compressors to put them on but I didn't try to tighten them up at all. I just put them on and let them settle.

I'm really happy with them, they are really heavy for an 8" wheel though. If you Autox or anything like that I would certainly not recommend lol. Fine for daily driving though, what did you go with instead?

Looks good. Not nearly wide/aggressive enough for me but props for making the move. I'm waiting to pull the trigger on some 18x10" Forgestar F14's. Our cars look so good with the concave look.

Yea I really wanted to go bigger but I don't have the time/money right now to make that big of a wheel fit. And I agree completely, the concave looks sooooo good. You can get wider battles in a +15 and they look amazing!
