+45 rear, Type O wheel meaning deep dish!
+38 front....... 18X8 front 18X10 rear....

I purchased them through a dealer in the Bronx who jerked me around for 9 months...... That dealer is no longer a dealer.............

If you are interested in purchasing a set.... contact, c.tanaka@work-wheels.co.jp and ask for a dealer near you.... Dont forget to say I recommended you.

Damn, those are VERY nice. They look like three piece BBS race wheels (below), only those are $1,400 (18x10) ea. with aluminum centers and $1,800 ea. for magnesium!



Congratulations,

Gene

They are nice, honestly they look better than in pictures, I'm not such a good photografer.
These are also 3 piece and the price is pretty spicy to...




Peace.

Problems rubbing....

I have 18x8's 235-40-18 on the front and have issues with rubbing when I go up ramps, i.e drive-thru's that are higher than road and sometimes steep...

My front lip doesn't rub but my tires sometimes do... my front fenders look like they were rolled a bit.... Rims and tires were purchased by previous owner.

I see that the car has KYB shocks and the owner said he put Eibach springs on the car but I had them on my old BMW and these do not say Eibach anywhere on them.

Just curious if you guys could help me fix this issue be it change the springs/shocks etc.

Basically when this happens it seems to pull the rolled fender out and sounds like its ripping my dender off.... only way I can stop it is to go REAAAAALLL SLOOOW.

pics of car with wheels...

Check the wheel offset. If it is less than +38 in the front then that is why it rubs the fender.......

You can tell from the picture on your CarDomain site that the wheels have WAY too low of an offset. I suggest you replace the improperly fitting wheels with ones that actually fit...
