but they came in 18X8.5 instead of the 18X8 I've wanted. Would I have any problems? What size rubber should I put on? They have a set of 225's in the shop.

make sure you have enough offset so when you turn lock to lock you don' rub.

Nice. AVS Model 5 =)

I'm still waiting for my Model 6. What offset did you get? Let me know if your Model 5 clear the Stillen big brakes. Our cars could be twins. We should park next to each other at the next NE meet.

ya gots ta roll yo' fenders ta make yo' `64 peep like da BMW with muh beeotch.
ya gots ta jack up yo' front end an' put da key in da ignition an' unlock it. turn da wheel all da way one way an' turn slowly an' listen fo' any rubbing. if yeea put back stockers an' git quality spacers.

sorry found a jive translator..couldn't resist.
disclaimer: i'm just having a little fun here people..please don't feel offended.

Re: Nice. AVS Model 5 =)

I don't think the stillen big brake would be a problem, I didn't have a problem with my 17 arrow's.
Doesn't the model 6 look like the rims you used to have???
but again.. my model 5 looks like my momos
parking next to eachother? sounds good to me =)

The Arrows were on the SMX when Stillen made them, I think they picked those wheels in a large part due to the clearance, because it sure wasn't for performance.
