    What do you guys think? I still need to get custom spacers from ccw and extended lugs for the front wheels but this will work for now.

    They are RO_JA Formula 7s in 18x8 45mm offset . I bought them from integroid for a killer price:banana:. The only problem is they don't clear brembos without spacers. I needed 1/4 inch spacers to run them and they were a pain in the a$$ to find. Don't ever go to Lanier tire they told me the wrong spacer size twice and then when I find the right stuff they tell me it won't work without even trying it out on the car :mad: . Anyways Chip over at CCW :bowdown: really helped me out and helped me source someone local with the things I needed spacers, and e.t. lug nuts. To do it properly though I am going to have him make me some slightly wider spacers on the front probably 1mm-1.5mm wider than what I have to give me additional clerance off the calipers because it's really close. I need to get the rear fenders rolled because now I get some rubbing or I could drop the back to 3mm spacers and I'm sure I'd be fine but it might look gay :thumbsdow

    Thats pretty wide. Any rubbing issues? Or are the tires smaller than a 245? They look pretty hot though.
