Default pic of ISx50 with OEM 18x8.5 with 245/40R18 tires?

I've searched the wheels/tires classified and pretty much all of the second gen ISx50 photo threads.

I'm looking for a pic of the OEM 18x8.5 wheel on 245/40R18 tires on the rear instead of the taller OEM 255/40R18 on standard (or sport package) suspension.

Thanks in advance

I know it's not a great angle, but I'm running 245 40R on the x package suspension. I have a pic with a better angle on my computer at home. I'll post another reply tonight if you need a better look.

This may be a better angle.

BTW, I was wanting to get spacers for the front and rear, but I can't decide whether I want 10mm for the front and 15mm for the rear, or 15 and 20, or 10 and 20. Are you running spacers in the front? Do you have any pics so I can see what it would look like?

awesome! thanks for the pics! The wheels looks more balanced with the shorter rear.

If you plan on having a full load of people/passenger definately stick with 15mm back and 10mm front spacers if using OEM wheels and tires. Perhaps you can go with 20mm rear seeing that you're using a narrower tire. I guess you can try the fronts with 15mm as well as long as you don't go wider than 225/40R18 and be extra careful when turning on full lock.

here are some photos of my spacers with OEM 18 wheels and x-package suspension (F10mm, R15mm)
