OZ Racing Mito Version 1 3 Piece

18x8.5 +41 offset (with 8mm spacers) 225/40, I might change it to 235 or 245...

18x11 +60 offset (with 15mm spacers) 275/35 for now, 305/30 soon, just waiting for these to wear out.

The wheels were originally silver spokes with polished lip and rivets. But now it's gloss black.... I'm also selling them but I'm not allowed to sell/trade on this forums (banned) ...

So you've got 33 offset for front and 45 offset for rear....
Do you have any other angle pics showing front and rear?

Nine-eleven, have a pic of the rims for us to see. So if you jump from 235 to 245 does this mean stiffer sidewall too? I know the width is slightly wider in the back with a 305 but how does this effect ride quality.

I will have some rims pictures. Now the rims are (gloss black) figured it's more aggressive with the way the car sound (loud *** hell) with straight pipes and muffler delete.

If I go from 225 (current) to 245 it would actually be a bit harder to steer but not dramatically change the whole steering response. Side wall is about the same. 305 in the back will have more grip and gas guzzler rather than 265/275. But not so much noticeable on the gas...

My thing about "POKE WHEELS" and "STRETCH TIRES" .....

I like the wheels flushed to the fender NOT sticking out way too much. That way it enhance the handling and stance of the car but not over exaggerating it.

I like the tires when it's a square setup. Meaning not too stretched. Like if my wheels are 18x11.5 I would wanna put a recommended size which is around 305/315.

That's more of big boys style rather than stretching the tires and poking the wheels out.

Read my comment above about stretch and poke. Even if it turns to it, there's nothing you can do about it. It's their car, it's their poke. That's what makes it beautiful, different tastes on cars and style, that's what car enthusiast is about. If we all drove the car same model same everything. The world will be boring.

Generally: Nice cars wouldn't have anything to compare with out ugly cars. It'll all be the same. So some how we have to thank those differences.

Fully agree with you, there's no right or wrong and we can all agree to disagree on things. That's what makes the forums great.

Or else we'd all be "assimilated" by the Borg. lol

I was just stating my opinion and outlook on things especially with some of the guys wanting to go wider than feasible just for show.

Yeah man, I'm not into the poke thing either, just right flush to the fender.
