yeah..i agree. CR Kai looks better..

oh..so for the rear +31 will be the lowest i can use? but u dont rub or anything with 10 width +36 on the rear right? i think going with 10 width will look sexier than 9.5..i dont want to have rubbing issues and no flush as well..had bad experiences with flush wheels.

Weel CR Kai have different widths and offsets unless you custom order them from Work, so they dont have 10" wide but 9.5"

The dilemma is 18x9.5 +30 will rub, but only a tiny but so you will need to either use narrower tires (not good if you have bad roads) or roll the fender a bit.

18x9.5 +38 will be fine, but wont be as aggressive as what I have, but its way way better than the stock wheels, its only about half a pinky finger's width difference from the +30.

Get the rear wheel in Deep Concave

In the front 18x8.5 +37 will be fine and you wont be rubbing at all. Anything less than +37 I am not sure, you might rub during a turn (??) but front offsets are not my specialty since I cant deal with rubbing.

Get the front in Flat Face.

Its going to be hot

The spec for CR Kai:

i actually just ordered a set of cr kai because ive always wanted them....i got 18x8.5 +25 and 18x9.5 +20....my fenders are rolled..with my TE37s...iam 19x8.5 +35 with a 10mm spacer and a 19x9.5 +34 with a 15mm spacer... roll your fenders and u should b able to go a lot more aggressive and get the nice concave for the cr kai

can you post pics of your 2IS wongerZ? So get the wheels with low offsets to get a deeper concave, am i right? then just add spacers to get rid of the rubbing issue. correct me if im wrong wongerZ.
