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.

265 OMG Huge Ehhhhhhhhh. LMAO 265. I think your arches don't do your wheels any justice IMO.

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

Thanks, but it had OE gold wheel when i got it and changed the colour to anthracite and much preferred it, so these will be going the same way to maintain the Grey/Black theme
