Looking to see what you guys (and gals) think of my *new* rims. I havne't decided 100% wether to go with these or not because the offset is a tad bit off. They are 18x7.5, 48+, and have a new set of 225/40/18 falken 451's. I also have a set of 15mm spacers, effectively making the offset 33+.

BTW the car isnt running, so its hard to tell how much I (would) rub, and from where. These are with the 15mm spacers on. Would it be better if I took them off, to allow for the wider rubber and larger diameter (to tuck the rims behind the fenders a bit more). I know both malpaso and wannabe are good with offsets and rim measurements, so if you could chime in with your opinion?

EDIT: sorry if the poll is confusing, I thought I closed it down

and here are a few shots of my current rims, they do not rub in the front when I turn, but do rub a bit in the rear going over large bumps/bumps at high speeds.

Interesting selection. How is she running? I have to say that I miss her in this weather. When you look to sell it someday, let me know. I might be interested.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
