Rota G-Force in Hyperblack
18x8.5, +48, 73mm hub with hubcentric rings
Sumitomo HTR ZIII 225/45/18
Stock suspension setup
No modifications to the fenders
No clearance issues lock to lock. Rubs very slightly on huge bumps....o need for concern.
Sits flush with the fenders and gives the car an aggressive stance. Supremely happy!

18x8 +47 with 235/40. Koni Yellows with H&R springs. Fenders untouched. I've searched just about everywhere to get a definite answer. Will it rub?
2 months later... Not sure if you still need an answer but...
Based on my experience with 18x8 +40 and 225/40 Hankooks (not all tires are created equal when it comes to section width) I rubbed like crazy in the rear after I installed my Koni Yellows and cut the rear bump stops down by about 2-3".
I will be installing some H&R springs in the Spring once it warms up but I'm definitely going to need to roll the fenders before that happens, your more than welcome to use the roller when it gets rented.
1) A Picture or a link must be posted (Please include 1-3 pics not a million pics)
2) Name of the Rim, (Brand, type, color) - Enkei PF01, Silver (obviously)
3) Rim Size (Height X Width + Offset) - 18x8 +40
4) Name of the tire (Brand, type) - Hankook Ventus V12
5) Tire size (Width/Profile/Rim) - 225/40/18
6) Spring/Coilover Set up (include height drop or stock, include any other specs) - Koni Yellows, stock springs, trimmed rear bump stops. H&R Springs to go on in the Spring.
7) Camber settings - Stock alignment.
8) Fenders (Rolled, trim, stock,ect) (include details, major rolling required?) - Stock. Will need to trim.

Rims!
So boys, Ive bent the hell out of one of my speed3 rims. 1 new one is 550$ from dealer, the hell with that.
So i've found some rims a guy had on his speed6, and was wondering if they will fit. I plan on lower the car next year as well and i dont want to rub at all.
19 x 8 - 40mm offset - 5 x 114.3
Opinions??

I'll have better pictures soon, I am using BC Racing EDP coilovers (maxed), Dominant Engineering camber arms, fenders rolled flat all around. A few other things had to be done, but overall it was very simple.
