i have the 18" x 8.5" 38mm offset but if you're looking for that concave look of the picture you posted you have to go a lot wider than that. i have some pictures of mine in my vbGarage in my signature.

those in that picture are 17x10 +28 i believe 5zigen fno1rc
you can get them in 18x9.5 to get some of the concave look but not like that.

A very affordable version of that look/type wheel is the Black Racing Pro N1 (6 spokes instead of 5). It's very cheap and light.

OK so the wheel on the FD above is probably:

17x10 +35 front and rear with 255/40/17.

Fitment up front is amazing. I can't even tell if it's wide fender.

They only make that CONCAVE look in the 17x10 FYI.

In regards to weight: NOT SO LIGHT ~21 to 22lbs per wheel for a 17.

I can grab these for you if you want dominion. I have a feeling that the FN might be on its way out though. It's been around for a long time.

You will definitely need to do some fender mods to make this happen.

Tire size to run 245/45/17, minor stretch. Use a nice stiff sidewall tire like Yokohama or Bridgestone. This will be proper tire diameter for the 8.

You will probably need to roll about 10mm of fender front and rear.

I'll be there in a couple days for sEMA, then hang around to look for a house with my wife afterwards. I come down every month so I can always roll yo fenda if i'm around.

They also produce a 18x9.5 that has a somewhat concave face as well. They produce a +45 offset, although not sure if they bring it in.

You can run that setup, get your JDMness, and run a 275.35.18 on all fours.
