Love the look with the new wheels
The SSR GT7's (gunmetal ones) are 18x9 +55 all around, I did get a little rubbing at that height but I trimmed the fender liner and raised the car to a 1 finger gap... I had -1.5 camber in front and -2.5 in back
Work XSA 02C's were like 18x8 +55 and 18x9 +65 and they had no rubbing
Rays Sebring Mesh are 18x8 +46 18x9+44, I raised the car to about a 2 finger gap and rub on really big bumps but not enough to bug me since it's pretty rare... I did have decently stiff coilovers so that helped

I weighed them.. 17x7 (6kg) 17x8 (8kg) so that appox 6-7 kg lighter than my stock AP1 rims and heaps light than the 18" rims I had on it previously.
I havent lipped or removed the liner on the front or back.. hopefully -2 or -3 camber on the rear with be ok. Currently it 1.5 finger gap all round
I do have BC coilovers in so I might stiffen the rear.
BTW... loved the white rims on the NFR... bet it was a bitch to keep clean. I wanted to get white VOLK CE28.

yea they were a bitch to keep clean, idk if I'll be doing white again because after driving once or twice they would be very dirty... I love black with a red (time attack) stripe so I may do that
My friend has a BB AP2 with blk with red pinstripped rims.. not a fan on BB. I think I prefer ur current setup
BTW got the UK spec alignment done today and lifted the right rear a fraction.. perfect now
Thanks for all ur help...
