    Some Aggressive S***!!!

    lowered the car a little today and rolled the fenders all the way around and my buddy thought it would be cool to throw his 18x9.5 Gram Light 57 optimise on my car to see how they would look. needless to say, it came out outstanding. the only thing is that i will need a 5mm spacer for the fronts to clear the inside of my calipers. i have that covered though cuz since im getting these powder coated silver, ill shave the 2mm off the caliper and then coat them. then it'll be the perfect fit. enjoy.

















    im seriously considering these because i have found them for less than $1500 without tires and that is just fine with me. so the deployment money will definately help.....again. lol let me know what you think.

    i havent tried with the gram lights. we just were joking around and tried them and they fit. we were all like "oh DAMN!!!"
    before i buy them for sure i will make the changes i stated before and then reinstall the wheels and take them around the block to make sure they do ok in all ranges of motion. i would hate to buy them and then they not really do well driving around. 18x9.5 is a big rim but it fits.

    huh? there have been plenty of 8G's w/ extremely wide wheels and low offsets since the 8G came out... just not often publicized. there are quite a few very nice aggressive USDM galants that are rarely on here or not on any of the boards and in some cases have never had pictures posted. just because you haven't seen them doesn't mean they don't exist. maybe what you meant is it's good that you finally get to see them.

    that setup looks hott but your probably gonna rub on the inside during hard turns. What offset are the wheels? (not counting the spacer) Im running 235's 18x8 +35 offset and I cant even get my pinkie between the the tire and the rear 1/4 panel in the back and im running a few degrees negative camber. My 1/4 panel is also cut and folded up so its like there is no lip in there at all. I cant believe you got 245's on a 9" wide wheel out back and its not rubbing.
