The RZ has a little space between every other spoke... kind of a mesh look, but very subtle.

To the OP, if you wanted to save some money and get RS replicas in 19x8.5 and 19x9.5, PM me for more info.

Forgive the poor photoshop.

that's great, but she'll have to stretch 255/35-18's to fit on 10" wheels.

nothing against the stretched look, but i question whether that's safe for daily driving.

but that's just me.

Jason - stock rear tires are 255/40/18, and according to Bridgestone's website, it's within the approved rim size for that tire. Not really a stretch.

18x8.5 looks weak in the front.

i'm just saying... taking a tire made for a wheel with a maximum width of 9" and trying to stretch it for a 10" wheel is (imo) pushing it, especially since your 2is is a daily driver (get used to it, btw ). these are all reasons to "play it safe."

just go w/ 18x8 and 18x9, throw on some spacers, and it'll look alright.
bro thats totally not over stretching it im running a 255/35 on a 10.5 on my GS3 now on my LS430, and before on my profounds (which i still have might i add -- just getting refinished) i was running a 245/35 on a 10.5 as well... pushing it in imo is a 235/40 on a 10.5 ill post some pics soon...

then these are the 255/35/20's on the 10.5.... I actually love the beefy tires on a very mild stretch, and since your rears are 40's its not even a stretch at all

yeah..255 on 10 is totally fine, also it's for daily driving, then it should be no problem.
