There are tons and they fit fine. Only problem I forsee for you is that the tires are too tall.

Lookin' good! Man, your car has come so far from your old signature picture, can't wait to see more!

Stretched tires call for no fender/wheel gap. From the pics, it looks like lowering a bit more would make the difference between good and great. The kit really hangs low but from the pics the look may benefit from a bit "moar low" in the rear, judging from gap. Then again, these aren't the best pictures to really showcase the car, some side shots would help *cough cough, Sifu*

By inside of wheel well, do you mean the rear portion in the fronts at full lock?

There should be quite a few pictures of 10" in the front, though tire width/profile as well as offset are also going to play roles in this.

^ Thanks Tilt. The car is going to go lower in the rear. I had to raise it up back then and these wheels were put on the day before these pictures. I am trying to lower it back down this weekend to close in on the gap.

j8635621: Those guys on H-I I know some of them...some of them are just being lame haha. But I do need to lower the rear a bit.

I'm running 18x10 +20 w/ 255/35s and no problems up front(even though only lowered 2.25").

Grabbing a couple diff size spacers and going to try +15 and +13.

Ah I can see it now. Sifu did raise up the rear of his car a good bit from the last time I saw the car in person (like his sig). Before you could barely see his sidewall lol. I was too focused looking at the offset.

now that i see 18x10.5 +17 is doable, would 18x10.5 +15 be doable?

how much of a bitch were the rears to get on sifu?

Well as you can see Tilt has done it. A difference in 2 isn't going to be much at all.

I just pulled the rears and I am not at any crazy negative camber settings at all

i guess that's what im gonna do

the number 9.5 isn't cool enough these days!

but 10.5 on the other hand... :D

now the decision is 9.5 in front or 10.5 all around? and if i order now or after winter storage...
