just a word to the wise anyone who wants some advice about rubbing
I have 245/40-18s on 18x8s that never rubbed until i slammed my car but they barely nick the inner fender at full lock unless you're slammed dont worry about it
i also run 19x8.5 on 245/35-19s and they rub more (tire choice mostly) same offset 35mm other tire size for that wheel would be 235/35-19 but just dont hit any potholes
BUT! if you're running staggered... especially 19x9.5s in the back with a 35mm offset what size tire are you planning to run?? a 265 will rub a 275 will turn into a 265 after time
be wise about your tire choices you can still run a 245 on 9.5s I believe but they will crown out a bit
and its a must that you roll you fenders in the back... (all this advice is for lowered cars ehehe)
choose wisely! nice wheels great price!!
are there any other sizes for 18s?? maybe that will fit on a Lexus GS?? 18x8 18x10?? 45mm offset?

Good news is that the shipment is on time...the bad news is that there are no HPR5's on the shipment. They are scheduled on the next contianer scheduled for mid March to end of March. And no pics yet. The rim from Sema is at the photographer so the catalogue should be out soon. I apologize but I can only go off what information my rep has given me. I hope he is on the ball this time. Everyone that has placed deposits with exception to Polo, I have placed your orders.
