Tenzo Type-M

Does anyone have Tenzo Type-M 18" rims? I'm going for that mesh-concave look. I've seen a post with someone who had 19" but they only come with an offset of +45. I wanted to see how the 18"s look. I am planning on getting these in flat black or bronze and was wondering if 18x8 +25 fit a 3.2TL (the 2nd lowest offset is 37)? I want a flush fitment without the use of any spacers and definitely NO RUB. I also don't plan on rolling the fenders, but will possibly do a 1"-1.5" drop in the near future (I am fine if the rear is inset a tad). Thanks

Just so you know, mesh wheels ALWAYS look one size smaller than they are. 18's will look oike 17's. Get some 19'' mesh wheels and youw will be a happy camper.

The stock wheels on our cars are 17x8+45 so id you went with 18x8+25 your wheels woudl stick out 20mm more than they do now. I am currently running 19x9.5+34 in the rear and I am lowered about 2'' and I have no rubbing issues at all. You will be fine the offset you are looking at.

I see... yeah I was going to go with the 19s but they came with an offset of +45 so I wasn't sure if I'd like it without spacers. I also wanted a concave look and the +45 won't achieve that. Nikoatx had them installed: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-tires-wheels-suspension-97/tenzo-type-m-ver-1-nbp-goodyear-eagle-f1-792020/

I do not want to install spacers and thats why I was thinking the 18"x8+25 offset. Hrm..what to do.. lol. Maybe I'll look into a different pair of wheels.
