Default New shoes!!! Are teasers still allowed..??

After YEARS of searching I've finally got my dream wheels. Been wanting these since day one that I got into the SC game and saw Baoser's car. Anyone guess which ones!?
Got ridiculously lucky and found them locally in a great size/offset. More importantly NO shipping, NO duties, NO exchange having to get them into Canada!!!!

18x9 +42
18x10 +37

Doing some research it looks like the rears will be sunken in a bit, but thats ok. I really didnt want to have to do any fender mods to get rims to fit since I have a 1 of 905 car.

Any suggestions as to what tire size I should run? I dont want anything crazy stretched, and I'm on Megans so I can adjust the ride height accordingly.

Hate to tease you guys, but this is all I got time for right now. Enjoy

255 front 275 rear or a more safe non rubbing route would be 245 front 265 rear

Volk GT-C. Not bad. Are you going to keep them the gunmetal color or will you refinish them? How much did you pay, if I may ask?

Yea I was thinking the same. 40 or 35? I think 35 would be too low, we have pretty bad roads here..

I originally wanted Gold ones, but Gunmetal was my no.2 choice. They wheels are in great shape other than a small 3" rash on one of the rears, so I'm gonna hold off on refinishing them for now.
Paid $1300 CAD ..saved me a few hundred just cuz they were local. Everything fell into place for me with these and I jumped on them.

I think that'll look sharp on your car.

Thanks for the sizes. A friend of mine is using my spacers, I already told him I'm stealing them back

Been trying to find a set of these in the right offsets, but its farking difficult. Most of the ones in Japan are GTR offset (+20 or lower).

Nice buy!

Nice wheels!

Those offsets are similar to my SSR's. I would recommend 235/40/18's for the front and 275/35/18's for the rear. 245's will rub on hard turns depending on your ride height. The wheels will sit slightly sunken in but you won't have to mess with the fenders.
