^^^ this. i love the look, considered getting some, but i only like the concave face and i'm just not into have my front track look wider than my rear again. its really a shame there are not more concave options for our cars.

18x9.5 +40 will not fit standard BBK like StopTech, AP Racing or SPOON calipers etc. It may fit the slim Wilwood calipers.

I know for sure the 18x9.5 +27 NT-03 fits SPOON calipers.

First time I take the cr out




I think this is exactly how I want to setup.
What are your specs on these front and rear, what gap do have 1-2 finger? I like to do mountain twisties so sacrificing tyre gap is not an issue, 100-125 mm ride height is fine. Did you do the usual mods, roll, relocate tabs only? Can you list exactly what you did and if you have any rubbing during spirited runs as I'm looking for the win win in form and function.
Appreciate your feedback, thanks in advance.

Thanks 1987, you may have cleared up some concerns myself and a few others commented on. Are the 225/45/18 's ample for the 18x9.5 +40 wheel size.?
Much appreciated.

Getting a good deal on NT03+M 18x8.5 +38mm offset and want to know what sizes you guys recommend... I was thinking 225/40 front and 255/35 in the back. I'm currently on stock suspension but plan to get coil-overs in the near future.

Good deal because 18x8.5 doesn't concave. That's gonna be hard to re-sell if you decide you want to change it up later on.
I wouldn't go with non-staggered tires to go with non-staggered wheels.
