Wheels. Vorsteiner V-FF 108 18x8 +45 5x112 66.5CB Carbon Graphite
Tires. BRIDGESTONE POTENZA RE-71R 215/40R-18

I plan to change tires to 225/40R18 once I finish this set, to avoid the little tire stretch, I don't like it.

Team Dynamic 17x8 et 38 with 215/40r17. No rubbing and I actually ended up putting a 5mm spacer in the rear. Lowered on VMaxx Coilovers.

Looks great!

Similar to your OZ's, but more aggressive.

Can you post a daylight picture down the side of the car? I’m interested in the amount of “poke” those wheels might have.

What is your ride height, center of wheel to fender lip?

Do you know your alignment numbers for camber?

I still need to get it aligned but I'm 23.75" from ground to fender and something close to 12.5" from wheel center to fender.

Pics from side on. The brake hat acts like a space as well and that is why I went with a 5mm in the rear to help match it.

not sure on offsets, they were custom made by Forgeline for my buddies r55 clubby which the motor blew on. True 3-piece wheels with hidden hardware... so i traded another set of wheels i wasnt using that he could on his VW for these.... just put them on last night, and never bothered to measure them as they sat perfect on his r55... i am running a 5mm spacer up front, when i first fitted them i wasnt happy with the fronts... so 5mm spacer put it to a point i was happy...

I like them, but dont "love" them so...who know's, they'll probably be up for sale soon...

Here's a different wheel treatment.
Removed the 17" Team Dynamics wheels, went down to 16" wheels, added a little tire diameter with 205-55x16 Dunlop, Direzza's.

Not sure I understand the question...
They are spun aluminum sheet material, formed into a domed, disc. They are attached to the wheel with six fasteners (each), threaded into the rim. The fasteners are stainless steel, button head cap screws.

Hope that helps.

Mike
