Default F sport wheels for those looking for beater wheels

Found this awesome deal on the 2is forum, F Sport wheels part # PTR5953131 for about $70 dollars each. Went with a square set up 18 x 8.5 ...offset 45 Already installed no fitment issues what so ever clears the brakes and doesn’t rub.

I've been looking for some OEM wheels and tires for my 08 F because I'm going on some long road trips soon, and the inner treads wear fast with the 245/30/20 I'm running up front.

What size/type of tires are you running with these new 18's?

I would recommend the LCA from Figs or RR-Racing to help with that inner tire wear issue. Certainly helped on my car.

That doesn’t look bad. I saw that as well and thought about them. I may sell all of my 19s and go to 18s... I like sidewall.
