Basically went with the stock wheel size since I used the tires off my stock wheels. 18x10 50mm rear, 18x8 45mm front. The offset is perfect on the rear and it could be better on the front but way better than the stock offset.

Nice looking car. I really like the wheels. They show up good, especially with the black.

Like the wheels, too, tint is too much for my taste, though I like the smoked rear lights. You must mean 25 1/2, instead of 24 1/2, your pics are no where near 24 1/2 to fender lip. That would be slamming low, like over 2 inches lower than stock, and lower than a GT3, with no space at all above the tires.

Love everything you did except the blacked-out windows. Way too ghetto for me. The rest looks great.

Funny, I totally agree with you Bill. That't why I kept mine with the lightest tint all the way around, except the front windshield.

Car looks great, I tend to agree the extreme tint I'm not a fan of but the wheels look great, etc.

Nice man.

Hey those wheels look really good. I like the tint too. I did a H&R spring drop (~1.25"), 7 mm spacers, and Michelin Pilot Super Sports (235s & 285s). Those wheels may be next.
