Spring 2013 Wheel Setup

Just picked up a set of 18" Enkei RS7 and wrapped them in Nexen N5000 225/40 rubbers.

wheel specs:
18x7.5
+42 offset
225/40/18

am thinking about throwing 8mm spacers on rear and possibly 5mm front. let me know what ya'll suggestions are.

i wouldn't trust those tiny 5-8mm spacers without having extended studs

Was too distracted by the oxidation of your headlights.

Don't look too bad though, any idea what they weigh in at?

Nice wheels, I think i've wouldve gone wider.. Maybe 8.5 or 9".
Also, I was reading some of your other threads, which ebay seller did you get your lip kit from?

@HBaJ
yeah i keep having to polish my lights every month im saving up for some new lights and projectors at the moment, and i believe the wheels weigh in about 19 lbs each with tires

@KR_TL
ideally i want to do 8.5 front and 9.5 rear but the CCW wheels i want are 2800 so...that may not happen anytime soon haha. i got my kit from ebay seller shari17gan. they're from Canada but i received my kit fairly quick... here's link to kit http://www.ebay.com/itm/ACURA-3-2-TL-OE-STYLE-TYPE-S-LIP-FULL-BODY-KIT-2002-03-/390522049002?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item5aeced91ea
@jackstonstl03
OH MAN i miss having my exhaust on, it really does compliment the rear end well with the tips but with all the harassment i keep getting from the law i can do without. i'll probably look for someone to weld chrome tips on my factory mufflers on the cheap somewhere

@VoLLy
damn i liked your TL hah pretty much what i've been striving mine to look like
