Figured let's start a thread for those who got some functional 9th's and would like to post pics.

Examples of Meaty / Functional Fitment below

Wifes car: 225/40/18's on HFP suspension, upgraded rear sway, endlinks, bushings,.... qualifies or just barely? No rubbing either, fender work done F & R.

18x8.75 +35 - the section width on a 225 is 9" so just slightly larger. The rim itself has a larger "lip" to make it look more stretched than it is. I suspect you are looking more for 235+ on 7.5/8" though.

OP: s2000 you posted does NOT look functional. meaty, yes ... fitment? awful. not sure that would function well at all.

Really can't wait to see some 9th gens in this thread. Really into the meaty and functional. Here's mine so far, really can't wait to get some 18x8.5 with at least a 235

Current specs buddy clubs 17x7 215/45 dropped 2.25 in the front and 2 inches in the rear. Hopefully income tax time I can upgrade to buddyclub coilovers and some nice light weight wheels like the enkei rpf1s.

are you using spacers in the front?

 

[Cbp sedan]

are you using spacers in the front?

Yes 5mm to clear the strut and actually feels like it has less under steer with the lower offset up front
