Yeah there’s a ton of conflicting reports on 18x9.5 +38 with a 265/35. I plan on using Spoon or Eibach so I’m hoping I wouldn’t have issues either.

Because it all depends on the tire brand.

I know, but I always thought Azenis ran decently wide so I figured it would rub. I’m looking at those or the Firestone Indy 500 (had these on my STI and liked them).

Per Tirerack: tread size of the Falken is 9.5" compared to the Firestone which is 8.9".

You'll be safer with the Indy 500.

Set-up is perfect! 275s are a bit aggressive but Miguel DeCampo knows best; he has sold a lot of Volk set-ups in that size. Great stuff, and beautiful pics! Best.

Good to know, they're cheaper anyways to that works out well.

Can you find the part number for the wheel? Did you order the rings from here as well? Also, the rims are shipped in the gunmetal color correct?
Correct, they are a dark metallic gunmetal finish. For P/N and additional info, take a look at the PDF I have attached in my original post: #1236

Can anyone recommend any good lug nuts to use with Enkei wheels? I don't want anything super nice since they will be used with my winter wheels, but wanted something better than the free lug nuts that Tire Rack gave me (they are starting to rust after only 1 winter of use).
