Love the color of the rim, but way too much camber for my taste. I like flush fitting rims. I would hate to hit a curb in them and have to wait another several months for a new one. The stance is crazy and good job on the fitment and making them work. I didn't think we could get a 10 inch in the front, I suppose with the correct offset anything will work. Great job again on getting them to work..

Now for the major question, how does the car drive? I am so curious...

I haven't gone for an alignment yet so I don't really know for sure. But I would say I'm probably running -2 up front and around -4.5 or -5 in the rear.

Our cars can actually do 11" wide rims in the front. I went with 10.5 just for more drivability. The car drives pretty good. Even on full compression the rears still have enough space to barely slide a piece of paper through. Only major rubbing is going up or down on drive way. The tires actually touch the top of the wheel well....

So what's the deal here? Going with smaller 18 inch wheels makes it easier to fit wider wheels with super aggressive offsets? Is that the new fad?

I must say the smaller diameter does make the aggressiveness look better.
Love the color too. It's kinda tuner style but thats ok with an SC.

Love the imagination of you younger guys when hooking up your SC.

You can easily fit the same width and offset with 19's and possibly 20's. Went 18's because I wanted to go pretty low. 19's I would have to be tucking rim to go as low as I wanted.
