Congrats looks great on the pearl! What are your tire specs and do you rub over bumps? I went with is250 h&r springs on my 350 and I am rubbing in the rear, not terrible but enough to where I scheduled to have my rear fenders rolled tomorrow.

Thanks! Tyres are 225/40r18 front, 265/35r18 rear. Theres zero rub fitment is great with these offsets (38mm front, 40mm rear).

I didnt do any modifications to the front fenders at all except what was already eaten away from my fender liners from the 19's I used to have.

Awesome info, guys. I'm looking at possibly doing a square setup. Maybe I can get away with these wheels since they seem to come in different offsets front & rear for the same width...

Looks good. IMO, the NT03's with a stretch definitely need a more aggressive drop than the S-Tech's to make them look right, especially if you are stretching the tire.

Hi, I have a couple questions regarding these wheels.

Do you need to get hubcentric rings in addition of the wheels?

Also, I'm looking to get 18x8.5 +38 for all 4 wheels since I have an AWD and do not want to go staggered. I'm thinking 235/40/18 tires will work on vehicle without fender work and will eventually be lowered on coils. This setup should work right?

Can't comment on AWD, but as for hubcentric rings, it's really up to you, I ended up getting a set of kyoei plastic hub centric rings at the same time though.

No joke - that car is hammered. Needs a full restoration... hopefully you can get a refund from whoever did that to your car. Wouldn't surprise me if it was a dealer "detailer" let loose with a rotary machine. Gotta get that thing cleaned up.

Sorry for the questions, but I have a couple more.

Just about to place an order, but wondering what size of the hubcentric rings you guys went with?

Also, for aftermarket lugnuts, did you guys go with 12x1.25 or 12x1.5?

Thanks!
