front and back are the same specs, im not running staggered.

looks like they also come in 15x7 et15 that's going to poke pretty good. you probably don't want to go any further than et30 on stock flares. you can fit et25 in there with some camber and some stretching but i'm not sure what your desired look is and these wheels dont come in that spec.

Poke and skinny 7" wide wheels don't mingle well.

plus it's going to be hard to stretch on 7" wheels.

Alright, many of you guys have 18's (looks awesooooome by the way), is there any rubbing happening? I'm planning to buy a set but worried about rubbing.. What size should I look for on tires and wheels (offset, width, series etc)? Thanks! Oh by the way, I have the 2010 MCS...

That's entirely dependent on the width and offset of the wheels and your ride height.

Mine occasionally rub in the rear, but fixing that is a matter of changing the offset slightly.

The BBS LM's ("Let's Motor" edition) have arrived! More pics in my gallery. Now I have to decide if/when I'm going to lower the car for a slightly more attractive stance. More pics in my gallery.

Looks great, and I like your overall color scheme with the aero kit.

Look who's talking! Been admiring yours since I saw it in some other post 'round these forums - rarely see PW/PW with the areo kit. Too bad I live in the northeast and have to buy cars the color of dirt
