hey Worshp, how does your car ride with such big wheels? When I had 17s, my car tyres would scrape against the guard if I braked suddenly and the ride was just too hard, especially when there were really bad road surface. Did you have to get your guard rolled?
My car is pretty bumpy...firm but bumpy...my guards front and back are rolled, but on my 18's I was running a 42 offset which was perfect (well actually 43 is perfect, but this was pretty close). Only had some scrapage on full lock turning into driveways and stuff...on the road it was fine unless I went over a big pothole. I'm running fulcrum coilovers which could probably do with a higher spring rate.

but yeah...is clearance a issue?

yeah..I don't mind those rims actually. Same company that made my rims.
Yeah, our roads are shit! They tear up your tyres real bad...you hear these US peeps getting like 50k miles on the same set of tyres! Couldn't understand why until you compare the quality of the roads there v here!
