So here is a couple different pics of the new wheels with the whole setup complete. Went with a Michelin Super Sport 255/40/18 after i had a blow out on the highway with my old tires the day i picked the car up Luckily no damage to the wheel.



Ordered the Michelins from tire rack to the shop my car was getting the work done. Had the fenders pulled (last time they were just rolled) and the car dropped as low as it can go while still being drive able. I dont know of anyone else running a 18x10.5 all the way around and i know why haha Loving the looks with the car but it does rub a decent amount. Strongly considering airride this summer.







Sorry for the iPhone pics its the best your gunna get for now. I know the color isnt going to be for everyone i think its VERY different and thats what I have been going for. Thanks for looking

Doesn't look too bad.

Just don't like them with the color of your car. You gotta replace low tread tires man. Tires > most important thing to replace when it is worn.

damn that sucks about the blow out, good thing nothing happen to you, your car, or the rim though! looks not for me but props on putting 10.5 fronts. VIP Modular kept trying to get me to put 10.5" wheels in the front of my car heck they even said i can fit an 11", but i wanted better clearance and piece of mind and went with a 10" front

But then what will go with his wheels? I think he should get more orange in the headlights, lets see some neon orange diffusers!

On a serious note, I like the wheels, just don't know if I am feelin em with the DGP. Props for bein different though.

Agree, the headlights doesn't actually bring out the brightness in the rims... But other than that, the car looks great

I would paint or at least wrap the gray piece of the a-spec lip in matching orange. Something to tie in that color with.

nice car bro....sucks about the blowout...where in ct you from?...i would love to see ur car in person....what nationalitly are you?

Look more like stretch damage than low tread...my guess is that's why you opted for a 255 on your new set. The blowout probably scared you. Overall it looks cool but I can't help but picture the whole thing in a nice silver or gunmetal on your NBP. Great job though...

About the 10.5...not a fan of stretched and huge neg camber.

I am also very curious, OP please answer his question. I bet the OP is rubbing everywhere especially on the front.

How well do Michelin Super Sport stretch? Do you like those tires? I have those tires and love it. Worth ever penny.

offset?

I think they look good, just need rest of the aspec kit tho

guys the offset is +35. I do rub a good amount. lets just say i like driving the car by myself lol. The tires stretched very well and im very happy with them so far. def worth the extra $. As far as how im running these specs up front. a shit load of roll and pull and me being ok with rubbing lol.
