That blue looks stellar with the black. Mine wont be that low.

That looks really nice. You didn't have to roll at all?

Roll on the rears.

Ok, trigger pulled. TE37 SL 18x10 +40s should be to my by next Wednesday and the tires, Michelin Pilot Super Sports 265x35R18, are sitting at my tire shop now waiting for me to get them.

Wow. I think this is the first time I've seen someone ask for advice and actually act on the good suggestions that are given to them. Congrats dude, you'll love them. :tup:

Don't worry I won't make it a habit. I am pretty pumped, they are gonna look good.

Thanks, I opened one of the boxes to look at them yesterday and I am pretty pumped, now I just have to wait a few weeks till I get into the shop and get them on.

w00t! Very nice. Exact size that I went with.

Who did you order thru? Lucky that you got them so fast!

I basically called all the popular sellers until I got the best price they would give me. I ended up ordering through Vivid Racing. It just turned out that there was a set in country that was not presold so I got lucky on the timing.

Sorry, don't mean to threadjack but i think this kinda fits in this thread. I've got Te37 18x9.5 +35, just wondering what size of tire would be the best to fit them in a 2010 STI. I'm pretty sure i'll need to rolls the rear fenders and hopefully can get away with just that.

You can fit a 265/35R/18 with a flat roll in the rear and your camber at -2.X* all around. Facundo uses this exact setup for his track wheels.

Thanks! its actually his rims that i bought lol. Thats probably the route i'll go. A little nervous about rolling my fenders but i'll look into any local shops who would could do it. Thanks for the info!

Well I rolled the rear fenders today getting ready for the wheels. I don't have them mounted up yet so I kind of had to guess how much roll I would need.

There is a little bead of raised paint on the inside of my wheels that didn't survive but that is rolled under now and I will tape it off and use some touch up paint make sure it doesn't rust and matches ok. I didn't screw the paint up beyond that so I am happy.

I ended up with ~1/2" of fender lip and ~5-6 deg. of pull/angle out so hopefully that will be enough to cover it, I think I got about 18-20mm more clearance. If that doesn't do it I can take a dinging hammer to the inside lip and get some more space.

I am out of town till the 29th so hopefully that week I can get the wheels mounted and post some pics.

 

[bustAmove]

just curious but where are you guys ordering your wheels from because i was just told they are back ordered nation wide for 12-14 weeks... please tell me that isn't true.

 

[jamesw95]

If not in stock that is about normal to get them shipped over here.
