What you might want to try is putting 1st gen spings on the rear, it evens the body out so the rear end isn't lifted so high while keeping the front at stock height. It's the rear being jack up so high that makes it look bad.

Thanks Greg S...made an error in my earlier post...I'm looking at LS460 18x8 +35 (not +40) wheels...will the 225/45 still fit without rubbing at stock height?

I just scooped up a set of 18x7.5 with a +50mm offset. I'm a tire size noob so any help and opinions are greatly appreciated. What size tires should I run on these? I'm dropped on Tein s techs. And I kinda of dig the stretched tire look so if anyone has a good suggestion for a tire size, I thank you! And should I run spacers with these?

I want to mimic it but with my new 17" ESM-001 Racing wheels
What are wheel and tire specs; including offsets and spacers.
And since you change setups like I change underwear, please confirm that pictured suspension.

P.S.: On that set-up, your yellow tire sidewall stencils are just more unique eye-candy. But a lot of folk think I'm different/not right too...

thanks mate, its on cst hyper zero 1 18x9 +30 front and rear with 225/40R18 on Tein Basic coilovers

Still on the Megans. There's so much thread left, I have a lot more room to slam in the front. The rear still has the perches in too.

Coilovers, wheels/tires, and rear sway bar installed a couple days ago. Now I just need to find out what's causing a clunking sound in the rear.

Thanks man.

Fixed the clunking noise, lowered it a teeny bit more, now I just need an alignment and some spacers in the rear to even it out.

Looks SO good man. Love that red. Wish I would've waited for it. What kind of coilovers are they?
