well i just got my new summer wheels in yesterday and i couldn't wait to mount them, so i quickly mounted one side and got some pics. Here they are what do you guys think? they are 18x10 and 18x8 both with a 35 offset. rear tire is a 275/35/18 and front is 245/40/18, i'm thinkin maybe a 5mm spacer for the front.. but not sure yet. i'm def gonna drop the car another inch or half an inch, i can still fit to fingers there :(

I wouldn't touch it. Looks perfect as is. If it doesn't rub and you don't scrape everywhere you go, why would you want to change it? I think the stance is great and probably more functional than a lot of those super aggressive set-ups.

Yeah I like your thinking in the original post. 5mm spacer on the front and lowered a tad more. It looks awesome right now and doing those two would perfect it.

Where did you buy those wheels from? If you plan on tracking the car I would lose the idea of the spacer. I see no need to extra stress for the sake of ~5mm.

i got them locally for a steal, i'm not using these wheels for the track, or at least i don't think i am. i also have a set of rx-7 wheels which i had planned to use for track use. i thought spacers were ok as long as there is enough stud? I have a couple of 240 buddies that drift their cars and had no problems with using smaller spacers up to 10mm. AFter that they recommended me those special hubcentric ones with the studs if i wanted to go larger.
