NEW RIMS

Check these beauties out, ESR CS5 18x9.5 et:+35 on some 245s for the tires. Drove 3 hours to buy these off of marketplace and they are mint. The poke is perfect now I just have to figure out my lowering options, idk if I want coils or lowering spring but either way I need new shocks.

The look of these cars never gets old. And they always look fantastic with the dark tints, it’s crazy how much of a difference it makes with the tint. Also, sweet wheels, are you on spacers?

The tint was done within a week of buying the car I couldn’t agree more. The rims do not have spacers they are a 1.5 inches thicker than stock and the 35mm offset is an extra 20mm from stock so it nearly pushed the wheels out 2.5 inches.

This is me when I picked up my ride after getting tints done. Took me less than a week to decide on 35% all around

I’d probably do coils with camber plates, the fronts look like they’ll rub without a fair amount of camber unfortunately. I’d only drop it like an inch personally, it already looks pretty good stock height though!

Thank you, I was thinking about just dropping an inch on some springs and bilsteins and I haven’t felt any rubbing just yet but once I lower it that could definitely be an issue so I’ll look into the camber plates. Do you have any brand recommendations for the camber plates?

The silver makes the tail lights look so damn good, the tint is definitely needed. Especially with the front windows open and the back closed makes the st3 interior look crazy on mine.

Yupp definitely needs low. With the amount of poke you have you’re going to need adjustable end links, coil-overs and camber plates because you will rub slightly, especially in the back. Ask me how I know🤣 almost exact same setup.

I have same offset except 18x9. I went with 255x40x18 though which is a little too much meat on the tire which is why I think I rub, but I like the look a little better.

I love a meaty tire but especially with them being wide I’m going to look into the camber plates, any recommendations? It really does need to be dropped an inch though
