18x9.5, 3" lip, FLUSH!

got my new wheels mounted, 18x9.5 ET40 G-games 77 Wolf 2 piece. car is running -2.0 camber all around with Stance coilovers, currently stretching on 235/40/18 Azenis RT615 and no rubbing. rear strut clearance is minimal at approx. 5mm, will bring down rear camber to -1.5 and try to fit some 255/35/18 some time in spring. Thumbs up again for MachIII for getting me the wheels! lost the battery for my DC so pics r taken with my camera phone, dont mind the quality

I would be carefull with the lip of the rim. It could easily get scratched. But nice job. Looks great.

Thumbs up

Good to see a subie with a proper wheel and tire setup (although a bit stretched), seems to be a rarity on subies.

i have 235/40's on my 8.5's and i thought they seemed a little stretched. You need some 265's on that ****. Still looks good though.

Sorry but not a fan of the wheels or the polished lip. As long as you like it, that's all that matters. Didn't you have some bronze wheels before?

How many rims do you go through? lol Nicely done even if the tire is stretched.
