If you are looking for the look of the gram lights why not get those exact specs but for your RPFs? Are you talking about scottersons car?



If so he posted his specs:

18x8 +22 front
18x9 +22 rear

better question is what did he have to do to make those fit without rubbing? Are the fenders puller or just rolled? And you have to be really slammed it seems to pull off that look

It will fit if you make it fit. It will take some work though...thats only 4mm more poke than scottersons car so obviously it can be done.

Just to make sure you know what you are getting yourself into... you are going to have to run stretched tires, roll your fenders, and possibly run negative camber depending how low you drop. There will be no comfort look at the tires in that pic, see how stretched they are?
