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.

Finally took some pics! New wheels are Revolve APVD No. 0119. 18x8.5 +38 with 235/40/18 Michelin P4S on stock suspension. No rubbing issues! View attachment 379482
Awesome wheels. I posted my Method 501's around Christmas. These wheels remind me of mine. I strongly approve!!! I'm surprised they don't rub? Must be the tire size and brand. At first I thought I had no rub, and then I found these tiny cuts in my tread. I had to bend the front inner edge of my fender to stop the rubbing. If this happens, be careful the paint chips very easy when bending that edge.

At this ride height (about 3/4" drop), -3 deg front camber and -2.1 deg rear camber, here is the fender clearance for the 18x9 +38 Titan rims with Bridgestone RE71R 265/35-18 tires. These tires have a 10.7" section width, so likely the Falken RT660 265/35-18 tires will not fit my current setup since their section width is 10.9". The Yokohama A052 in that size has a section width of only 10.6".

As you can see below, after driving 180 miles home on the RE71R tires, the rear tires gained a fender rub due to the worst highway bumps. I'll see about rolling the fender lip and/or raising the suspension a bit.

5 lug could mean 5x100, 5x114.3, 5x108, 5x112. So right off the bat with the little bit of information provided, it would be hard to say if they would fit.

Konig Freeform 18"x9" et38 in stunning Radium Bronze with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 255/40r18 tires. A touch of poke. Decided to go a different direction so these are coming off the car with ~10/32" tread left and very low miles. They look excellent and ride even better:
Some negative camber will fix that poke.

Ford Performance Matte Grey 19"x8" wheels (flow formed, yay)
Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 4 235/35r19 tires

At 55mm offset, I need some spacer help when I can verify whether or not the pockets on the rears will accomodate studs. They look bangin' though, and this finish doesn't get very brake dusty.

looks great!, any lower springs planned? and yes, need some spacers, mybe 25mm due the pockets?
