New year, New wheels
Hey guys,

I just ordered a set of Linea Corse Lemans in 18x9.5 +17 all the way around for my TL-S. I'll be putting 225/40/18 nankang's on them. Not sure if any of you are familiar with my car but they will be going on this:

i think theyre far enough out where it shouldnt be a problem. Someone else ran 18x9.5 +20 and said it cleared them so i should be ok if its 3mm more outwards.

I believe the centers are silver

225 on a 9.5 wheel = Stretch? On the photo looks sick with that drop. Some ppl here gave some flame on the nankang tires, but for that money I was considering them for a 19" wheels set that I have sitting in my house for too long now.

Thanks! yea i don't think i'm goign to be able to stay that low with the new wheel setup lol i'm goign to rub like a *****.

I heard decent things about the nankangs and they stretch pretty easily so thats why I was persuaded. Also they are stupid cheap and these will jsut be summer wheels.

I have a feeling these may look a tad bit small but I wasn't trying to go the 19's route like alot of others have with Linea Corse's.

Doesn't look that bad, but a wider tire is needed IMO.

Very nice! Your car is beautiful. I just ordered a set of Linea Corse myself. I went with 8.5/19 +28 all around. Any initial thoughts on the quality of your new wheels?

Gawd DAMN those look good. I love them.

What did you do with your last set of wheels? I loved those as well.
