Exactly.

In spring next year Im going to be fitting my of 18x8 wheels, 34mm offset, on a widetrack blob sti. Will be going for 235/40/18 tyres, may even try 245/40/18. But I already have camber bolts all round & will be fitting my new Tein Monoflex's to get the fitment & stance right. Though I can envisage the rear arches giving a few problems!

I think you'll be surprised mate, I'm running a slightly higher offset but with plenty of clearance if I wanted to add spacers to make them fill out the arches

Hardy they look great.. Someone has been talking to me about Grids, without wishing to take over Scott's thread have you got anymore pics ? Different angles and close up plus what's the wheel quality like as I see they have a matt finish.

You clearly use the same arch rolling technique as me, the 3lb lump hammer arch rolling technique

Nice wheels
