Thinking about upgrading OE tires (225/60R18 Geolandar G91) to Falken Azenis FK450 245/55R18 on stock rims. I have the machined finished ones, and they are surprisingly growing on me. Circumference/diameter etc checks out, only its 7.9% or 0.7" wider. What do you guys think of the tire/and size?

Nice tire but the rim width for this tire is typically 8-8.5" while the OEM wheel is 7.5".

I'm on my 3rd set of wheels soon to be 4th but I can tell u guys. If u looking for the flush square look, tires line up to your fender. Go with +30 offset. U will require to shave off the plastic a bit and bend the metal pice inside. My setup is 265/35r22 +30

I bet those are the RX F Sport wheels. Looking forward to seeing the whole shot.

Swapped out OEM 18's for OEM 20's. Sitting on BFGoodrich g-Force Sport A/S 245/45/20. Wanted to keep an OEM look and couldn't find an aftermarket set that really appealed to me.

That's a very nice looking wheel, compliments the color of the car very well!

I do! Too expensive though. My wish list is definitely a set of 22" JDM wheels, hopefully in a split 5 spoke concave design.
