I'm a little worried about my whole wheel setup honestly. I have the 19" LMGT's spaced out to +15 in the front and rear, but with the coilovers on, I'm kind of worried how it will sit. I wanted to run -1 maybe -2 in the front and rear for HDPE and looks.

What are the specs on yours and your suspension? They looked really good in that picture in the media share thread.
Thanks for the compliment.

I wouldn't worry about it being an issue, you will most likely have to run a camber kit in the rear and modify your fenders but it should look really good.

My setup is:
Front - 19x8.5 +5 (20mm spacer) 245-35-19
Rear - 19x9.5 +10 (20mm spacer) 275-35-19

Suspension: Eibach Pro-kit with Tokico HP's and an SPC rear camber kit. Also, my rear fenders are cut.

Good luck with your new setup.

I had one of the first batches that came over from Japan, I loved the color but it was a PIA to keep clean.

This is the only pic I have:

Hey have any of you guys run 265/40/18 on the rear (9.5") wheels?

I'm thinking about it. Call me a ricer but I like the slightly stretched (I mean this is barely stretched..) look plus it would allow me to get a little flusher with spacers (25mm probably). Thoughts?

Camber not stretch if you want to go lower.

Yes, but i will probably rub if i don't go with a lower profile. i'm thinking lower profile, lower the car and space the wheel out a little bit more.

Possibly but my rear tires are wearing unevenly in the rear and I want to get rid of that. And I'm not really sure if it's the toe, camber, or a mixture of the both. I just picked up a camber kit so we'll see what the alignment looks like...

Plus, I don't want to have much more negative camber in the rear because that just leads to under-steer and I have no way to increase camber in the front right now..

Word.

IMHO LMGT's are more of a performance based wheel. The offsets and widths aren't aggressive enough to sport the stretched tire look, or a extreme drop.

i had +12 bronze lmgt4s at one time and test fitted one and it looked sick... ill see if i can find a pic. but i wasnt feeling the bronze on white as much as i liked my te37s at the time so i sold them.. but imo that is the only offset where it can be pulled off.. more concave and a little wider, something spacers cant do obviously. but yea i regret getting rid of them.. at the time i was still a newb and really didnt realize just how rare that offset was .

Those one's are sick. I've see one set of them in person, the rears look awesome as concave as they are.
