there are a couple members who run p45r on their 8s, they do poke a lil bit lol
the replica is alright, took a lot of work by my bodyshop but the fitment is good enough now. spent a lot more than i would have liked though to make it fit right, probably should have just bought the real thing

c41250n has really tasteful sense in wheels
spends wisely and makes most out of it
VERY VERY AGGRESSIVE setup (makes the 8 look real good)
emphasizing it the right way

i have a set of wheels to race on
Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 +45 all around.
some weekend bling is nice to have
as far as stagger upsetting the balance...this is not necessarily true. staggering wheel size and even tire size can be a tool for tuning (maybe not the best method, but a method none the less), dialing in more understeer usually, if the car has a tendency to oversteer.
that said, i personally prefer to have same width wheels and tires all around, and using other methods of tuning.

i agree about the spoiler, not sure what do do about it yet though.
on my Enkeis i run 275/35/18 all around.
the professors have 255/40/18 front and 285/35/18 rear
my rear fenders are rolled, i did it as a precaution and am not sure if it was necessary or not

The rims look good... and serve their purpose for daily bling. also matches the rest of your exterior aesthetics.
now if you can just figure out what to do with the rear of your car.
you already know what my opinion on that is

hopefully i can get an idea soon...

sigh...i am doing homework too....can't wait to see another weekend...

if you run too high of an offset you run the risk of rubbing the spokes with your brake calipers or rubbing the inner fender liner or other suspension components.
costed me $100 to roll the rears. if you want to save money u can do it with a rubber mallot and a heat gun. some people use a baseball bat
