Need advice on rims 18"
I'm going for the tuck look (wheels sitting inside the fenders).
I'm planning on doing the ls400 calipers would i have any issues (dont want to use spacers)
Would i have any rubbing in the front or any sort if i go with 35 or 40 tires. Please advise.
18x8.5 +30 / 5x114.3 / 73.1 / Gold-Hyper silver-Hyper Black-White w/ Machine Lip / 2.5 inch
18x9.5 +35 / 5x114.3 / 73.1 / Gold-Hyper silver-Hyper Black-White w/ Machine Lip / 3 inch
Anyone using hub rings?

Well, if you are going to tuck your rims you will need to most definitely do some fender mods to prevent rubbing.
First and foremost, no matter what size tire you go with, be sure you roll your fenders and quarter panels. The fronts you are going with don't seem all that aggressive, but a slight pull may be in order considering you will more than likely hit dips and bumps while driving.
Since you are tucking, I'd also recommend relocating your wiring under your driver side fender liner.
At the end of the day, if you are about that life that is... you'll still probably rub despite all these mods to your fenders.

I already relocated the wire harness. The car is sitting on K sport coilovers. It's a bit bouncy but i need to adjust the pre load i was told. So i shouldn;t have an issue with the offset in the front? I pretty much dont want the tires sticking out at all in the front.

I run the same setup on my front wheels. Ive got some str 514 and they look almost identicle to the wheels you are buying.
So with str 514 wheels * have to run 5mm spacers on my stock soarer brakes.
And with ls400 calipers im running 25mm to clear it.
