BBK and 18's
 

Are there any oem 18 wheels that would fit with a BBK?

The current 18" wheels that are on the sport pkg sedans work, as do the square set of 18s on the XS AWD sedan. The 18" base coupe wheels clear (just barely) as do several 18" Z wheels.

I run the 08 Sport sedan wheels as my winters, I run 20 MM spacers tho cause I'm lowered.

Looks great. Those Stoptechs (?) are a handsome set. Never seen the OEM wheels look so good!! :)

The OEM Sport Wheels seem to look better with time. They are a dream to clean as well.

They look even better with a mild drop and 20mm spacers all around: https://www.myg37.com/forums/picture...installed.html

Thanks;
Yeah those are stoptechs. I would like to upgrade the Rims, just to to give a better appearance the calipers. But, every time i clean off the brake dust, I delay my time to upgrade.

I run the 2011 Sport Sedan wheels as my winters, i run 15 MM spacers tho cause I'm lowered.

Do you guys have a picture of your respective cars with the stock sport wheels, lowered with spacers?

I've since installed Tein Coilovers in the rear, however here's last year's picture.

RWD lowered on Swift Springs, duckfeet with snow tires and 15mm spacers:

Thanks. That's how the car should have looked stock. I can see from here that you might pull that rubber piece off under the front fascia the first time you get too close to a parking stop.

In looking at the Swift Spring Rates (Swift Springs USA), 559/503 is close to the Spring Rate of the stock sport springs right?

That OEM/Lowered look is really growing on me.

IDK what the spring rates are, and I have Tein CO's in the rear now... Didn't like the droopy bum. But I agree with you about the duckfeet. As much as I love my Vossens, I would have been content with the OEM wheels when dropped and spaced.

Any one know if these would clear the BBK?

Not familiar w/ that particular wheel, being a 7.5 +45 you'd probably want spacers for a better fit so w/ a 15mm or larger spacer they should clear OK but :dunno:

I have to take a pic of min with my 08 sport wheels, BTW I couldn't run these with the spacers, The rim would hit the calipers in the front :/. I thought the sport wheels would fit guess not :/
