Look great! I would verify the bolt pattern, offset and size with tires mounted fits first before buying. Maybe he would be willing to let you test fit before finalizing.

I was actually going to throw these on my 2g. They're a wheel company off of eGay but my buddy has them on his GSX and says they look amazing. I have to agree with him. : )

They'd be pretty aggressive... You might rub with 225s, and you'd definitely rub with anything wider. If you're willing to get your fenders rolled, you should be fine.

I was planning on running 235's, I think they offer 17" So that might help me clear? I also am going to do a slight drop on the car. I just might have to roll?

I have a two inch drop on the car. I'm running 18"x8.5" 245-40-18 +38 offset. I did have to roll the fenders, but well worth it. Also, I do plan on stepping up to 255-40-18. More is better, right?

OP those rims look pretty good and that price is great.

Did u have to roll just your rears? I just got some 18x9 +36 and want to run 245/40.

I havent got the wheels yet, i dont know if i have to roll them, if i do i am going to go 245 at least. I didn't really want to roll tho. Thats why i was going to go with 235's only.

The link isn't working anymore, so I don't remember the offset (IIRC, it's +35). If so, you'll need a roll with the RRM springs. Running 17" won't make a difference; what is important is the overall tire diameter, which you don't want to change because it will throw off the speedometer.

The link worked for me again, Yeah there +35, So a roll in the rear and how about the front? And do you know about after i get the springs do i need to trim my bump stops? And or need a camber kit, and how about an aligment?

People have been getting away with a little more in the fronts; it'd be too close to tell right now whether you'd need a roll (I would say that you might as well, because you never know if you might end up with 245s/255s in the future :p ).

As for trimming the bump stops: I've heard some guys say that they had to, but I don't have any experience with that. You shouldn't need a camber kit; toe will probably be the most important adjustment for your suspension. I would rather pay Muellerized for a good alignment than spend money on a camber kit.
