Post pics as soon as those get on!

I am slightly confused, as I thought the appropriate offset range was +40 to 47. Are you going to be running spacers?

it's possible to run a +52 or +53 8.5" wheel it just may limit your tire options if you're on coilovers.

the stock S203 BBS wheels are 18x8.5 +53mm

what suspension are you on?

the 245/40/18 is a tall tire and can cause issues with spring perches on the higher offset wheels.

you should be fine on prodrive springs, although if you decide to go lower you may run into issues.

although every car is different so if you want a hassle free install the 235/40/18 is your size.

I was thinking the same thing. I might be the first person in the US (or at least posts up on forums) to have the RCIII's . Should be ordering tires within the next few days and then having them mounted max. first week in april.
