whose running 18 inch wheels

[Boug]

You started it by posting a picture of your wheels. If you wanted to keep your knock-offs top secret then you shouldn't have posted the picture.

Knock offs...? Care to clarify...?

Look like Rota Boost?

Now that's funny! I bought original wheels and had them powder coated to go with my blue and white scheme. No knock off here, my friend.

Are you seriously going to turn this into a search and find? Both Talon tsi PR and MidShipCivic both asked for model and specs for your wheels. Don't post pictures in a thread about wheel sizes and setups and not contribute any useful information beyond pictures! This wasn't a show-and-tell thread.
If they aren't a knockoff please set the record straight and just say what brand and model they are. What is so difficult? Just help some fellow DSMer's out, I'm sure maybe they will return the help back to you in the future, you never know.

Man, this is getting ridiculous. You are correct that I did in fact forget to state what my suspension currently is.

To answer that question, I currently have KYB AGX shocks, 4-way adjustable front Eibach Sportline springs, and 8-way adjustable rear with Eibach Sportline springs. I am running 235/40/18 tires without any rubbing whatsoever and the wheels are eight inches wide.
There is about a 1/2 inch of tire protruding from the front and rear fenders that, in my opinion, makes the stance of the car look more aggressive.

If you look at Post #19, I stated the same information that other DSM'ers stated. What is there to set the record straight about as I know and have shared that Rota Boost are currently on the car? Have you never heard of Rota Boost before? They are pretty dominating in the EVO scene as I ran them on my Tarmac Black EVO VIII that has the same bolt pattern as 1G/2G DSMs. They were powder coated when I bought my DSM as I wanted to do something different.

Thank you Boug, your previous post was unclear to me. Car looks good on those wheels.

It is all good, my friend. For a second there, I thought you were e-thuggin' me through your computer but I gave you the benefit of the doubt and decided against being sarcastic in any way. I am glad that we cleared things up. Sorry for the mini-thread jack. Back on topic...

18x8 with a +30 offset on a 1G is gonna stick out...a lot especially the front.

I will take an overhead picture and post it here. But like I said, it is about a 1/2 inch outside of the front fender. This was how I ran my EVO8 as I am a fan of the slightly wider stance.

My 1g runs 18 x 8.5 with I believe a +38 offset (something close to that) and I use 225-40-18 tires. Doesnt stick out at all, comes really close though in the front.

18x7.5" wheels (can't remember the offset right now). Tires are 225/40-18.

I had to trim the inside lip of the wheel well to not rub on a 225 wide tire at this ride height. Nothing major though, as it was barely rubbing the sidewall on big bumps. With a 215 wide tire, it didn't rub at all.

Suspension is D2 coilovers. I have no clue how much lower than stock I'm at.
