Ohhhh okay i get it now.. You got skinnier tires 225 so your wheel sticks out a little then you added a spacer since you didn't want a wider tire to kill that look! It's all coming together now... I think..

Dude, thats sick. I love the whole OEM look with the badass wheel/suspension combo
Got originals of the pics you posted? lol

I would add a home depot lip up front to kinda give it a lowered look up front without worrying about it begin torn off lol

You can do an 18x10 front and rear, just not with 10mm spacers like i have. I'm at 18x10 +15 all around. The original offset of these wheels is +25.

You can do an 18x10 +25 with a 235/45 all around.

can I not do 245/45? cause I was planning on using my current tires and thats the size of them.
Also do I need to run a certain amount of camber up front? I currently do not have adjust front Arms right now only rear camber kit

That's the drop I'm looking for. That should slow me down a bit.

hey, why did you go with 18s instead of 20s? I am thinking about getting xxr 521's, but not sure if I would get 18s or 20s.. How are they so far?

Would I need spacers for it to look good on a coupe? I am not going to be slammed.. just a small drop.

Not related to XXR's, but what if I got 18x10 and 18x11.5 VS XX +8 in front and +0 in the back. How would they look on a coupe with a small drop?

The tire is too fat for an 18x10 up front, they'll stick out pretty good. You can do the 18x8.5's.
