ehhh its not all about the way it looks. when i see a car poke and streched on xxr's, im like cool. but when i see the same car poke and streched on SSR's im like damn ! respect....... but thats just me, you dont have to take my words so seriously.

as for Rays vs Varrstoen. Rays uses several methods for making wheels and has developed exclusived forging techniques. There is a reason why so many of their wheels cost $1,000 each and their wheel strenght reflects only a fraction of that price.

I use spacers with my Volks..

I bought them used for a good price so I couldn't pick and choose my offsets/widths. To hell with it, my car's looking better than ever.

Would it be possible to fit a 18x9 on the front of the 4th gen or is 18x8.5 the widest that can fit under there? I know the rear is a different story.

lmao^ but if u remove a collar/perch/locking ring (whatever u want to call it) from the coilover u can go MOOOAR low or You can replace your shock cartridges with shorter shock cartridges which they (BC Racing) can provide for you no problem. That will allow you to go lower without having to remove lock rings.
