Default Re: Wheel fitment

Well guys,

Thanks for the feedback regarding the Mondera wheel - "The Solaris" - and after my cousin dogged me for considering putting them on my car (and several post from "my Lexus Brethern here" I have decided to go w/ an Epic wheel - (The Palm Beach).
I've had Epic wheels before in the past (on another cars) and they held up pretty well.
Do any of you have (or maybe seen) this wheel on a car?
It's a chrome 18x8. I wanna have a kinda stretched look to the tire, so what tire size would you recommend? I was kinda thinking 235-40-18's.

Gimme some feedback!

to answer your pm ?, 18x8(though a bit small), is fine for the GS..

I'll check into that (re: 18x8.5) if they offer it (and I go with this particular wheel) i will get that fitment.
So the 245/40 will still give me a more stretched look, rather the the tire looking like it "overlaps" the the wheel lip?

What kind of wheel/tire's do you ride on/...got photos?
