First ever photo shoot, haven't had the chance to remove the tints, add stickers to the headlamp, nor debadged the rear emblems:

A bit more detailed look of the wheels:

Brighter pictures at last, but the car is dirtaaay :p. And this is how my car looks now. I've removed the tints, added some yellow clear stickers on the side of the headlamp (to resemble the USDM headlamps, and they look better this way IMHO) :

Are the 205/40 tires a bit to stretched for the rear? Might try to fit on 215/40's. Let me know what you guys think. Plus I'm doing something to the interior (hint: better seats). I'll post pictures once they're done :wavey:

It rubs a bit on the lips of the rear rims. Slight rubbing on the front while turning. It aint that bad though. Still trying to figure out the fitment for the rear so that it'll rub on the tires instead of the lips :p

Thanks bro. But I'm having a hard time trying to figure out the exact series of these wheels. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me out here :)

What is the rest of the wheel specs? Offset front and rear? I know you said it rubbed some but did you have to roll the fenders at all or pull the fenders? I am looking at doing something similar but its the offset I am still trying to figure out.

By the way...those wheels look great!

Front offset is 39 and rear offset is 32, both on spacers. But the perfect offset for the front is around 35 ish if you want it a bit flushed. 35 front & 32 rear is the perfect offset for the GE8 imho.

I did roll all four fenders and pulled it just a tad bit on the rear. But the drag was that I had cut a little piece on the front inner plastic fenders (what ever they are called) since it was rubbing way to much when hitting bumps on the road. But if you don't lower your car as much as mine.

Best of luck brother, I'll be happy to help out as much as I can. Just hit me up if you have more questions :)

twotonezed Feb 20, 2012 08:01 PM

I am looking to just lower on springs. It wouldn't be necessary for me to get coilovers. Thanks for the info.

vinnymac Feb 20, 2012 08:17 PM

Nice wheels for sure! But do they make USDM GE8'S with 5 lugs too:confused:

555sexydrive Feb 20, 2012 08:56 PM

Almost positive no GE's anywhere come 5 lug, pretty sure the OP swapped hubs.
