The blue color looks good on your SFP.

I'm not using those tires but they are 265/35/18's. I'm going to use a 285/30/18 all the way around. It will probably require a 3mm spacer in the front once I have the 285's since the wheel clears the A-arm by about 3mm and the 285 will bow out a little. Also, I am going to sell these wheels since I've had three people offer to buy them from me already. I have Volks coming in this size and offset as well.

with a 9.5 +45 you have about 3mm clearance between the upright and the tire on the inside. With the 285 the tire will bulge and most likely touch so you will need a small spacer.

Yes Sir. We bought the exact same wheels except for color. Sadly, mine is a custom order so it could take all winter. Please post a lot of pics when you get yours in... I’ll live vicariously through you for now.
