new rims on the car

i sold the stocks and picked up these MSR rims. theyre 18 x 7.5 with a +45 offset. they sit perfectly. i rub in the back since they stick out a little more than the type s stocks. opinions welcomed

If you were to drop it more in the front and maybe some in the back (put some neg camber or roll fenders in rear), those rims will look better. Also, whats up with your hood in first pic?

idk. one day i closed it and its been like that ever since. rims look better in person. iphone pics dont do it justice. i do plan on slamming the car with coilovers so the rims look more flush

Looks good man. I think they would look better if they were 19s, but that's just me!

The kit really sets off the car though. That looks awesome

Tires look pretty wide. Maybe try smaller tires, might get rid of the rubbing..

tires are definately beefy looking.. got that little bubble effect on the sidewalls...

my 18's were the same specs and you couldnt make my tires rub if you tried...

try a smaller size.. and the lip does look off.
