yea mine is 18x9 +35 and +30 in the rear with 5mm spacers. They are alright but I wanna go wider.

Actually, I was gonna get hyperblack 18x9.5 grids one day but since you have them already, I should go with 18x10's lol

I just noticed you live in san jose, I hope I will see your car in person soon.

Thanks. The bike is actually just to exercise with so its not too flashy. it's a really old 1960's bike that i got for free and decided to fix.

I still love your wheels though. I was thinking about going torques or g-force 18x9 until i saw the grids and i said " .5 extra inches wouldn't hurt." Lol at the hyperblack grids. I got to them first. :p
And you live pretty close yourself. We should get a photo shoot going for wheeldude or something. lol

To push them out more. Since he has 18x9 et35, adding a 5mm spacer will make it et30 and it will be almost the same stance that i have. Also to push it away from the suspension because mine are actually really close. I'm planning to push it out 8mm more so it's et30 offset once i get some extended studs

Very clean tC! I didn't think I would like how those wheels would look on a tC but man they look awesome!

because 18x9 +35 is not wide enough.

yea 18x9 +30 sticks out just 1.7mm more than 18x9.5 +38 so they are almost identical. I say go with 5mm, once you go with 8mm, you will have to do alot of modification to your plastic liner in the rear and the clips that connect the rear quarter panel and the bumper. I know it cuz I've already done it. lol it's not fun at all.... and of course you gotta roll fenders flat.
