looks like the shadow might be causing that sunken look. Who knows.. Looks nice!
Here is what the back of my wheel looks like to show how clean and also the specs.... They are 18x8.5 F and 18x9.5 R with 255/35/18 Pontenza RE050A all around

I don't have any real recent pics of the car but you can kinda see it in this older pic. I'm putting up my old set for sale and looking for a new summer wheel soon.
ABC Exclusive (basically looks like a work euroline... I think it's made from enkei)
if anyones wondering, yes my front bumper is held together with white duct tape cause of a winter boo boo lol

I've been reading through pages and pages now to get to what the 'magic' numbers are, and from what it seems, optimal offsets (with a roll and maybe slight pull-- no major work needed) is:
18x10 ~ 20 F
18x11 ~ 20 R
My Question:
I just stumbled on a good deal for a full set of wheels with tires, details are:
18x9 +3 F (225/35)
18x10.5 +4 R (225/40)
I'm pretty sure the fronts wont be any problem at all with just a roll, but are the rears ok? once I roll, perhaps pull a bit while doing so, will those not rub? Maybe with like -3 camber? I'm looking for actually flush, so once the springs compress, the wheel goes under the fender, not into it haha.
Also, their Meisters for reference. I hope 18" Meisters don't look small on a stock 97+ body...
opinions? input? Thanks!!
