(Thread Starter) |   Not Ranked : 0 score  18x8.5 xxr 518's speed6 I could not find anyone with these on, so decided to help give ideas of what they look like. It they actually cover the wheel gab pretty well. They were originally a shiny black, but I bought them used and had lots of dings. So I plasti dipped them black again. Rims XXR 518's 18x8.5 and 45+ offset... My rear is rubbing a tiny bit on real big bumps (stock suspension for now). Tires 225/45/r18 all seasons I think.. might need to update. I do not recommend running this wide of a setup if you have lots of bumps and dips all the way down your roads, because you sometimes have to fight the steering wheel (like driving a corvette or something). However it is worth it because the steering feels way less numb and more responsive compared to stock width.

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score Nope not yet. I need some time haha I don't want to rush it. Just living in Alaska there's just giant bumps in the roads after breakup season and I just need to slow down at higher speeds but it's barely touching I bet, there's no marks on tire yet

| Not Ranked : 0 score Don't the tires look to narrow on the 8.5 with rim? Why not like a 245 on them? |

| Not Ranked : 0 score I agree! The first thing I did to my ms6 was lower it. But would a 245 on the car give it a healthy look? If I could fit 255 I would, I know everyone will say its pointless but the look would be killer! Your setup looks good man not bashing! |
