Own a set of aftermarket wheels or are you running different tires? Post pictures by using the format below.

I did a search and didnt find anything that compiles all of our cars with the various wheel setups available, so i created this one.


To keep things clean and informative please post in this format:

  • Brand Wheel with specs
  • Brand Tire with specs
  • If the wheels are custom in any way please specify what made them custom
  • Image from front
  • Image from side
  • Image from rear
  • Image from 3/4 front
  • Image from 3/4 front with wheels fully clocked the direction the car is turned
  • Image from 3/4 rear
  • Optional: Image from front without bumper and splash guards off


Tips for good images:
  1. Take shots at a low angle and from 30-50ft away.
  2. Take pictures in good lighting(i.e. sun to your back, sun over head, in a very well lit garage with enough light to see dark wheels.
  3. use a DSLR with a telephoto if possible, if not try finding a point and shoot.
  4. If you are using an smartphone try to only shoot during the day time.
  5. Most of all, this is for informational purposes only, so dont get crazy and photoshop.

Hey guys, I just got a 2017 ST1 two weeks ago, and I've been reading everything about fitment on these cars. For my old car, there was a chart that everyone followed, but I can't seem to find something similar on here.

I wanna run 18x9.5 +40 NT03s like Csermonet47, but I wanna run a 255/35 while lowered. Would I rub? If so, I'd settle for the 245/40 since he doesn't rub.

Thank you

Ya know, you try to find reliable car builders online, but it never quite works out lol....anyways I really like the Niche Misano, and my car is Kona Blue so was thinking of just 18x8 ET: 40 as shown below (disregard the wrong color car)


So the real question is...Satin black, matte black, or matte gunmetal??

Also going to wrap in Michelin PSS. What size fits best? Changing to mountune clubsport suspension very soon!

I like gunmetal for the blue cars and with an 18x8 a 245 would typically give you a meat setup but PSS run narrow so maybe a 255? If you want a stretched look I'd say a 225 would give you some or a 205. I wouldn't go less then that personally.

Very nice! I like the combination of black with dark bronze wheels. Black on black is OK, but I have never thought I would go that route if it was me. This is perfect.

Others have done it, but be advised it throws your speedometer off a little because the 245's have a greater diameter. Some have claimed that some tires brands actually have a smaller diameter with the 235 size and that the 245's bring it back up to where it should be.
