Those black rims always remind me of someone driving on 4 mini-spares for some reason. Maybe because we actually see that sometimes around here.

Man...they are looking good. Nice job and a very nice choice.

I have a couple of questions, What are your lip sizes? and what tire size are you running?

The below pic is what they did. 3 of 4 rims had damage on them, all the way around the outer lip.

Damn im confused now. Your wheels look perfect. Your rear wheels look flush with the fender with a 9.5" and +45 off set. Somewhere here I saw someone with a 10" +45 off set and that looked flush too. Now is it all determined my wheel manufactor? I want to go 10", but I dont want it to stick out the fender. Wheels look HOT!

I don't think it is the manufactor as much as it is the size tire you run with those specific sizes and offsets. PM ttrank, if I remember correctly, he is running 10" +40 in the rear and he is flush.

You could also PM Chico (resident expert), he has helped alot on this site with getting a great fit...he helped me!

How do you feel riding on a 30 series tire? Im afraid to run a 30 series tire around my area because the roads are so bad. Do you think you could have fit a 35 series tire in the rear?

^If I roll the fenders, I could prob do a 35 in the rear. It would be close.

It is rougher riding on 30's compared to my 245/45/18s but nothing to drastic. Once I stiffen up the suspension some, that will be a different story

Seeing that you drive an X, you can't run staggered anyways.... Running 8.5" rims all around with 245/40/19's is your solution (that's what I did)! No rubbing issues whatsoever, and you can still drop your car if you want.

are you going to get a camber kit? and if you do fix the camber in the rear, wont it rub?

i need to do that for my car. i look at it everyday from the rear and look at how bad my camber is (well, not that bad), but i know those tires wont last up to 10k.

If your talking to me, no I don't have a camber kit yet.

I think I will be okay after I get a camber installed. Im not to worried about it. I have another set of OEMs I am going to be switching up with for not so nice weather, like today, its raining
