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 20's were a little more expensive and i have a couple sets of 18" tires. You wouldn't NEED spacers for the coupe, but it would look better with them.

18x10/11.5 +8/0 on a coupe with a minimal drop would NOT work. You need to stretch tires, drop it atleast 3 inches and run camber to make that work.

Color combo on the wheels = sick.

Now I know why you have those bandaid looking stickers...to cover up the holes from the OEM front lip. I recently got tired of it too but went a different route. Used painters tape on the front of the bumper to cover the holes. Didn't have bondo so I used fiberglass resin and mat from the inside. Let it dry, took the tape off. Filled in some little gaps and after that dried used some touch up paint. From far you can't tell anything was done. Up close you can, but still looks MUCH better than some holes.

Really wish I could lower my rear so it was level like yours.

Lower part of the bumper. There are 4 band-aid looking stickers. Tow in the front middle and one on each side. That's where the OEM front lip has screws that go into the bumper. Gotta drill into it.

Thanks Levon.

I would have filled the holes in on the bumper (had to fix a hole in my front lip before with the same thing yur talking about.) but this bumper needs repaint like no other so I just didn't bother.

Just stick plastic plug caps from autozone and paint them white and it will look cleaner. If people ask you what they were, they are low clearance sensors to show me how close I am to the ground when coming out of a drive way

Knowing Lev he would put bling bling sensors

If you were in my situation would you get the 18x8.5s front

or should I get 18x10 up front and new front tires 235/45 and keep my 245/45 for rear if those will work.. or do I need to change rear as well to 235/45

I know exactly what you mean. Not worth getting it painted. It's fine as is, I just didn't realize what they were till now. I'm a little slow like that sometimes.

Just saw that my front tires are actually 225/45 and rear 245/45

so thats perfect for 18x10s +25 for front and rear correct? I should have no problems..
