looks good phil.
i just put on my 18x9.5 +35 fn01rc's. pics soon! the fronts clear the fenders perfectly but the rears rub on the black piece near toward the back of the car in the wheel well. i rolled the fenders and it still rubs so i'm pretty sure it's not rubbing the fender.

the tires kelvin is running are falken rt-615, which is wider than regular street tires even with same size. if you put 255/40/18 regular street tires on these rims (18x9.5), it will have a more stretch look. another option is 265/35/18, that's the size i am running on 18x9.5 +35,

yeah i made this choice for now but i have not forgotten about the TE's. the 5zigen's will be easier to replace (cheaper) so they will be driven on track. the TE's will be my street wheels. i will most likely get 19"s for those ;]

if you can feel that corner piece being shaved off even just a little bit, that's it. you should have plenty of clearance other than that corner piece. by the way, you should go to the alignment shop and have it done. try this set-up when you are at the alignment shop: front camber -1.5, rear camber -2.0
you can also call sky for the alignment shop.

Sunk wheels ftl.
But the color goes really well with your car and I definitely approve of the tires.

I can't even afford those tires with my employee discount haha.

I'm in love...
You just helped me make up my mind Dshiznit1489. I've been trying to find rims I like for my 05 Winning Blue 8. What tires did you end up going with? Oh, and those are silver right?
