Rotary-RX8 - I am leaning over to Work Meisters/TE37/Jlines. I don't know which one yet but I know my friend can get those wheels at a good price.

Kane- Looks good man...especially when lowered more

Thanks!!!

That is a pretty "loud" wing...but you never really know until you try it out... I may do Mazda speed at some point when I get some cash I don't need.

Right now, I have a lot of other priorities.... stupid car. Stupid, awesome, scary fast, expensive, 100 in a 25 on ramp car......

265 will fit, but it really is the largest size I can run on a 9.5 inch rim at that offset without serious issues. With my coilovers, no rubbing yet (already rolled) - once I measure clearance of the speed bump out of my house, I will be able to re-lower the car.
wow you're really close to what I run and I have the same tire sizes, my 265's ate away the inner fender well in spots, I'd thought about going back to 255/30/19 but I didn't like my rim being that vulnerable. (super thin sidewall + rim sticking out= imminent damage)

My vote goes to the TE37's, although I never see JLine's on people's cars anywhere either so that would be cool. What about I-Forged? Are those wheels crap or are they just not popular anymore?

I have 19x9 +25 and I didnt notice a road feel difference over stock, but its been so long since I've driven on 18's that I just dont remember anymore, lol.

Next wheels will for sure be 18's though, as tires are cheaper.

In the front or rear?

My fronts are smaller. My rears seem fine, I haven't heard or seen any rubbing yet. And I am only at -1 camber.... so not too bad.

sorry my bad, definitely the rear, I'm at 19x9.5 +29, I think initially I didn't have a lot of camber which is probably what caused it, that and the car's *** sitting on the ground (and bouncing around on a trailer or me driving it that low to park at shows etc.) probably didn't help much either

Why are you parked on the sidewalk? Nice, now your car looks just like 2tones. Now drop it like it's hot.

Hello guys, I dont want to look through this whole thread but I do know 18x9.5 will fit but the offset is +22 on the wheels I want. I will need to roll to not rub correct? Im also on Tein S-Techs and im pretty sure my struts are getting close to blown as my ride is bouncy right now. You think that would be a problem? Thanks.
