New Wheels

Well here are my new wheels guys. The wheels are 18x9.5 all around, with 265/40/18's up front and 275/40/18's out back. Im running 1.7 spacers up front and 2.0 spacers out back. The rubbing on the front is marginal when cranked all the way over.

What do you guys think?

Re: New Wheels

nice looking car, the rims seem to not match very well in my opinion. they look to contrast to the white paint. they seem to work well on black cars and dark cars. and i don't know if you notice your rear tread is facing backwards.

Re: New Wheels

I'll be fixing that.


I thought it contrasted well, cause of the grill and the headlight pockets.

Re: New Wheels

Not too much contrast, just need to put more black accents. Tinting the windows will help a lot. Plus your hood blisters would look better in black as well.

Re: New Wheels

Not bad, but I like a dish on the wheels-not a fan of flat (FWD) looking wheels on 3rd gens.
