^i'd assume just the fronts because theres plenty of room in the rear.
Just for reference in the future, i have 18x8.5 in the front with 50+ offset and 235/45/18 tires, albeit a bit chunkier because they are snow tires, and the tire shop anymore and I would have needed a spacer. |

Are they doing this just for the front wheels or the rears as well?
Attachment 490831 Here are some pics. My car is dirty from the little rain we got last night: Attachment 490832 Attachment 490833 I'm not too sure how I feel about the rear: Attachment 490834 Attachment 490835 They stick out a little bit too much for my liking. The ride seem to me smoother! Maybe it's just in my head. These RC-F wheels are definitely lighter than the stock ones. Sorry couldn't get any weights for any of the rims. |
Your tires look stretched?

The fronts are 245-40-19 on a 19x9 rim. |
ah. nice. just my eyes lol

I don't think they stick out too much at all as its making it more flush with the whole car. Overall fitment looks great plus the added performance of a lighter wheel. The look of the wheel itself meshed with the rest of the car is not my cup of tea, but everyone has there preferences.

LatinGS350: Your rear wheels do seem to stick out a little bit compared to the front wheels. It might have been better if you did the same width wheels all around. Otherwise, it looks great. I like how the wheels go with your white car. Let us know about the driving feel.

I'm going to contact the shop that installed them and see if they can shave off some of the offset. Their website says that they can do several things with wheels: http://www.wheelspecialists.com/services Here a front shot looking back at the rear wheels: Attachment 490830 I would like it like 10 mm or so more sunken in. I do love how they look with my gold painted calipers: Attachment 489740 The driving feel to me seems to feel "lighter" I'll have to see if my gf notices any difference when she gets in the car. |
@LatinGS350 - Looks good! glad to hear they didn't even have to put spacers to make it all work. Now you have OEM quality and a more aggressive look/stance :thumbup: Let us know if you see an increase in your MPG...

I have gone through every post. Love all of the great mods and pics of your work! Things I've done so far:

Washed it and put on the subtle roof spoiler (wrapped it with 3M PPF).
