Very nice. You don't see black wheels too often with the redfire, but I think it works.

Great view from the rear - mean stance.

I think the black looks good, but they stick out so much in the rear, it gives it dune buggy look, IMO. :duuno: What's the offset and size of the wheels? Of the tires?
Just my opinion. As long as you like it, that's ALL that matters.

18x10 +30mm in the back. 18x9 +12 mm in the front. 285/40's in the back. 255/45's in the front.

My rear axle is a 1/4" off center towards the drivers side. Didn't notice this with the stock tires. That's why the driver side sticks out so much.

Have to get a spacer to kick the right side out more. I really like the look.

Instead of a spacer (You should always run two anyway) look at getting an adjustable panhard bar, it will allow you to pull the rear end back into the center position.

Mine was also off center to the left. I also didn't notice it until I put on wider wheels & tires. You may want to see if your dealer can slide the panhard bar over a little. Mine was able to do this and got it almost perfect.

Thanks for the sizes. It's that +30mm offset combined with the 10" wheels that's causing them to both stick out so much.

Nice wheels, but wrong offset. Maybe it is just the picture, but I really don't like it when wheels go past the body.

BTW, what is that white oval by your door?

Rampant,
This is just a guess, but I'm thinking that white oval is a side marker turn signal light. If you look at Euro cars over here )BMW, VW, etc.) they all have a light between the door and the front tires, and since Kyle's in the UK, I'll bet they require them also. Is that close, Kyle?

That would have been my guess as well, but I would have thought it would be below (or near by) the GT emblem, not way up there.

Just curious, that's all.

Yes, that would be my blinker.

Yea, I understand about them sticking out. Didn't really want that either, but it looks so good in person.

Much more aggressive.
