Bump, anyone? They also have a +30 but I'm still trying to determine if that will clear brembo.

Here's a pic of the wheels:

Might be a dumb question but have you tried contacting them?

Contacted Mackin Industries they said both the +25 and +30 will fit but would "need an actual brake template to guarantee clearance". Called a local shop and was advised to go with +25.

What do you think man, will a 235 tire on a 18x9 +25 concave wheel poke so much? I've seen folks running 18x9.5 in a range of +22 to +30 (XXR and other variants) with a little poke so am thinking the drop from 9.5 to 9 should help hence the 235 vs 225 tires. I can't go 8.5 on these wheels as the "Face 2" look I want is only available from 9 and above.

I'm thinking worse case scenario I'd have to roll the rears but it should turn out pretty flush. The +30 should have less poke and clear yet safer with the +25. From reading around and by several calculations, the grey area for a 9" wheel is around the +28 to +33 range. Don't ask me how I reached that conclusion.

Member "Undying Dreams" has those wheels. Here's his thread starting on page 19 when the wheels arrive and he lists the specs:

About to buy my friend's TL. It's on stock suspension and wheels.

I am looking to upgrade the wheels to some Volks in 18x9.5 +22 (the idea is to lower the car with Tein Street Advance Z).

I am not a fan of the stretch look, so was looking into 245/40. Will that be a major rubbing issue? I do know the car has rolled fenders when he had the car on bags.
