Lower is what I'm shooting for. I have them maxed out already. What I'm going to have to do is remove the rings in the front and rear. Almost everyone with BCs removed the rears already, but I haven't seen or heard of anyone doing the fronts. I first have to roll the fenders before I do anything.
I'm looking into doing this next month when I get home. Once the fenders are rolled and it's lowered a bit more, I'm thinking about a 5mm spacer in the rear. That'll put the rear at +40. But the spacer idea is just a thought. I'm definately lowering it more.

thanks for the info. aaaaah i love those man, the car looks so good.
Thanks man. I gotta admit, you're the reason why I got the wheels in the first place. I wasn't a huge fan of multi spoke wheels until I saw your car. I'm more of a 5 and 6 spoke fan but felt that style doesn't fit this car too well, but that's just me. Your wheels were a bit too aggressive for my taste, but the inspiration was there.
When I saw RODSCALIP5 (thanks rod) with the RZ, that's when I knew that was THE wheel. But I wanted a more aggressive stance and this fitment is right on the money. If you want to go with 18x9, all it's gonna do is give you more poke. Even more if you put in a spacer which is necessary. But it looks no different than 18x8.5.

Are you going for the Silver Caps or Black? More pics please! 
I'm keeping everything black so I'm going with the black caps. I even got the black lightweight Rays lugs. The weather is pretty terrible here, but if it clears up I'll wash the car and try to take better pics. All I have with me is my camera phone so I'll try to take the best pics I can.
OP updated with more pics. I did the best I could with what I have. These pics don't do it any justice. I'll have access to a Nikon D40 when I get home next month. I'll post better pics then.
Only when I hit a bump or dip really hard. It'll be fine once I roll the fenders.

Correct, and wheels are 18x8.5 +45.
And that's exactly what I'm going to do. There's no need for a serious roll. They just barely nick the fenders at speed on large bumps and dips only. No other time other than that.
Also, keep in mind that madvillian had 18x9 +30 which is WAY more aggressive than what I have. That's why he had to aggressively roll his fenders.

Ah ok. I thought he had 18X8.5s. Definitely didn't know he had a +30 offset. They looked sick though.
Thanks for the info. Now I need to see if it is possible to get my rears rolled at a local body shop. No way am I trying it myself. I lack the necessary patience
