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.

Just now seeing this thread. Here's my meats and the fitment. 275w Nankang CR-1's on some 18x9.5 Enkei NT03's. These tires run a little wide, so they're closer to a 285 in width. The car needs a decent bit of camber and a little more height than I'd like, just to not rub... The fenders have also been massaged a little. I'm probably going back down to a 265 next season.

The common wheel with a sort of uncommon setup.

Konig Hypergram 18x8.5 +43 offset on 265/35/18 Bridgestone RE71RS tires. Running a 5mm spacer up front for coilovers collar clearance as well as ET spline drive lug nuts to ensure proper thread engagement with the spacer. No spacer in the rear and plenty of clearance all around..

What offset are the wheels? This is pretty much dead on what I'm going for and I'd like to get it right...

Had to remove the 20mm spacers added for the original wheels, for the rims to fit, but happy with how it came out.

My current setup after upgrading to RS rotors and calipers.

Sparco DRS 18x8 +50 with Vredestein 235/40x18

Sparco DRS Rally Bronze | Tire Rack

Vredestein Hypertrac All Season | 235/40R18 | Tire Rack

I had purchased a different set of wheels that were +35 and with no tire mounted they lined up exactly with the fenderwell edge and I was nervous about tire rub.

Axis Sport AX2 Bronze | Tire Rack

The Sparco's tuck nicely and no rub at full lock. They also clear the RS calipers and room for the wheel weights to sneak by.

I got my Koenigs powder coated in white because I thought the black was too dark.
