Can anyone recommend a paintless dent repair service in the NY or NJ area? Taking the RX8 out for Valentines Day wasn't a good idea .

^ not sure if they have this on the 8 club... but on 7club there's a thread with all the info on
Size of Rim = offset

it basically gives you the numbers to make sure your rims will sit flush.... no matter what size.
Other than that i would talk to maybe gh8st or NYC Drift King

just post up on the 'will it fit' thread. Great choice in rims btw.. haha i'm super jealous you're getting Advans. they come in 18x9 +25 that can work nicely (probably need some fender work depending on your drop), or you can go super aggressive 18x10 +35/25.. depends on what kind of look you're going for

which tein springs? s-techs or h-techs? Also with that low an offset, you will need to roll your fenders and maybe pull the rear a bit depending on what size tire you get

Racing beat dual resonated, BHR dual resonated or a used Mazsport DR will probably be the tamest sounding catless midpipes out there.

I have 17x10 +25 all around. same size in 18in with a 245/40 tire should fit nicely with a simple roll on the rear.
