Work XD9's on Lemans Sunset
I finally got the rims on my car here are some pics. The rims are 18x9+20 and 18x10+18 and i am running falken 452 245/40 front and 285/35 rear with tanabe gf210's (1" f 1.2" r):
here is a pic of the little gap in between the fender and rear rim:
the wheel is basically flush, would be farther out with out the camber:
will get more pics when i clean the car.

Funny how LSs look clean even when they need to be washed. Nice setup. That's a sweet drop btw.

Lack of polished lip does that :-D Just need to run 245/35 and 275/35 and the small look will go away

I don't think your going to want to add spacers to this setup; the rears are flush and the fronts are pretty close.
BTW, masterj, your wheels look great!!!

Probably can, but you'd need different offsets. Trust me, I feel the fronts look better than the rears. The rears have the lip which make them kinda look small.
