I must say I am a little disappointed with CCW's fitment numbers for the 18x10's in the rear. Front is dead on. I got the 18x10 sp500's with +50.5 all round and the back just plain old sits in too far. Even with a 5mm spacer. :-( I have coilovers and aftermarket trailing arms and could easily fit 18x11 had the offset been more precise.
Also those rears are probably around +40 being that they are 18x11 and stock trailing arms and needing a little pulling on the fenders.

It has nothing to do with CCW. People go with that sizing to be able to rotate, which is helpful for track use. my 18x10 +50 Fikse have the same look, because the FD has more room in the rear fender relative to the front. Thus, you won't be as flush in the back as you are in the front with tire/wheel size constant. Hell, look at a stock FD with stock wheels

One huge thing I noticed with the new wheels that was not awesome was my new found horrible understeer. On the 10's I had Falken Azenis 265/35 F and Ventus RS3 285/35 R and the car handled spectacularly. All I did was add an inch to the rears, with a wider track, and suddenly I had the worst turn in understeer. I absolutely hated it. I wound up putting some Nitto NT-01's on the front in 275/35 and its 100% back to normal. They are not DOT tires, but Hankook RS3's were on back order, and I have an extended trip to the mountains of NC & GA coming up, and cannot have the car handling like it was. I don't put a lot of miles on the car, nor do I drive it in the rain so hopefully the Nitto's give me a few thousand miles...

They call it a 'square fitment' for a reason.... the wheels and tires are the same size

You're dead on about the stock wheels in the back. You could hang out in there on the weekend if you wanted. :-)

How are those seats for human fitment? 150lb? 200lb? 5'4"? 6'2"?
They look good in the car and if they could fit someone around 6' and around 200lb with a 34" waist then they may be an option for me to consider.
Good looking car....can't go wrong with CCW classics.
