Kyowa Racing Rims

so im still debating my new rims ... i had sth in mind but cant seem to find em in the right spec so this is my second choice what do youll think and if the
18 x 8 +29 would look pretty close to flush? or would 18x9 same offset be better

http://www.kxwheels.com/wheel.php?wid=1615 or if anyone wants to make any suggestions to help me out ... i will be sticking with black rims ...

18x8 +29 will not equal flush.


+29, +30 and +31 are good offsets for 18x9" wheels.


highly suggest jumpin' on that deal Auto RND has up. I saw you pm'd him already Save up the cash, get quality bro.

Yeah what Atilla said: 18x9 +29 with some 245 or 255 tires look very flush. Check out the 3rd page of the Calling all advan thread and check out the Advan RS fitmets in 18x9 +29

what if i went 18x9.5 with 225 or 235 (would it look ok) reason i ask is i have 2 almost new sets of tires one 225 and one 235 both 40r18 ... heres my NEW dilemma if i cant fit the 225's or 235's on the rotas i want then i might as well go with the deedub setup since i would have to get new tires anyway ... this is soo painstaking

225's on a 9.5 equal death trap, I had 225/30 on an 8.5 for a while and it left the wheel way unprotected and rode like crap too. I know some folks dig that look, but in my opinion I think it looks just as awesome when you have a nice amount of sidewall sitting flush with the lip etc. I'd sell those 225's and get something a little meatier

yeah stay around 245... simply sell the 225's then your back to square one and you can find whatever rim/tire combo you want
