Bored at work. Swapped wheels with a coworker

SSR Vienna LM-9's. I'm not quite sure what the sizes were, but the rear is 18x9 +45. I'm running a 15mm spacer so effective offset would be +30.









And finally, the wheels I'm in the process of paying off. I should have them by end of August.





18x8 +16 18x9 +4. In the future, I'll eventually get the 8's widened to probably a 9. We'll see.

The offset's are way to aggressive, major mods ahead of you, and still expect problems!!

I doubt I'll need major fenderwork. These are less aggressive than my 12's +25 and my quarters are already rolled and pulled. But thanks.

good to see you still at it bro..lm9s are top 3 my favorite mesh wheels of all time, but koenigs are just straight classic...wont have trouble with the new wheels fitting at all, people just look at the offset and not the width..id def. invest in getting them widened tho, both front and rear.

Looks good man.

From those pics, it looks like all you need is a slight stretch of your tire and you'll be set. I think a 225/40 would be good.

Dude, tell me about it. The guy told me had has special ramps for slammed guys like me. I expected some expensive metal ramps til I saw this. I was like man, I need to get off my lazy ass and do something like that haha.

***MOD EDIT- SEE STEVEN BELL'S MESSAGE BELOW***

Fitment in the rear was spot on. Unfortunately, those are the only pictures I have before I took it off the car.

Well I was planning on selling them to see what kind of offers I get. My car was hit when I was at a friend's and my other friend was backing out and hit my car. So I had to raise my car and I just decided to take off my wheels for the time being while it was in the shop. I have my car back now and might throw em back on and take better pictures for y'all!
