Work Emotion KAI

guys/gals,

need your input here. what are your thoughts on 18s on G's? is that TOO small? will that size look funny? here's 2nd question: will 18x8.5 +38 and 18x9.5 +38 fit w/o spacers? i'm thinking 245/45/18 and 285/40/18. please help!

there are a handful of people here that roll on 18s - though not many.

but 8.5/9.5 +38 is going to look horribly tucked without spacers.

At least go 9.5+20 all around for concavity

If you like them enough just get spacers.

I almost bought those in gunmetal when I was looking at rims. Only reason I didn't, was because I was looking for more lip....

More than a "few" people roll on 18's, especially us folks with 03s and 04s, before the 19s came out stock.

The Emotion KAI is a great rim because it's also pretty light. I think there are like 18 pounds each or something like that.

i would buy but the offsets is not ideal for g's. dont know too much about spacers but i dont have a good 'feeling' about them. with 18s would you guys suggest running 45 series to reduce gap w/o slamming the ride?

will 9.5 +30 look too tucked in the rear?
