I ordered new wheels:
Ultralite Nurburgring 18x8.5" ET30 and 18x9.5" ET10. Color Gold.
Car will sit on a quite low stance that rear wheels won't poke too much.
Front tires will be Nankang NS-2 225/40R18. I will add a 20mm spacer to front.
Question is: What size rear tires? I think 235/40R18. But is 245/40 enough? I want minimal stretch and I wouldn't like to add camber. Fenders are already rolled, but not flat though. I have a new paint so i wont pull the fenders.

and this wheels are not sold out and they will be shipped tomorrow! 
Rota GTR-D 18x9.5 ET25 with 5mm spacers and 18x10 ET35 with 20mm bolt on spacer. Color silver.
Front tires Nankang NS-2 225/40R18 88W.
Rear tires Linglong L688 245/40 R18 97W XL BSW
Are original wheel studs too short with 5mm spacer?

I think that multispoke style is quite "universal" so it's not really a replica of any wheel. There isn't any famous wheel that looks the same. As far as i know...
Work VS-XX is the only wheel that comes to my mind of Nurburgring. Both has no steplip, but VS-XX has more spokes (8 vs 10).

Anyone know the off sets for XXR 521's? All they have on the site is the sizes like 8.5 mid 8.5 high..no idea what that is...
But wanting to run 18x8.5 in the front and an 18x10 in the back...235/40 up front and 255/35 in the back...will this fit? If i need to how much will i need to roll the fenders?

Anyone happen to have a picture of a 245/40/18 on a 10.5 inch rim? I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find it even in this thread or on tyrestretch.com
thanks
edit: oops, did some more searching and finally found it, just in case anyone else wants to know what it looks like:
