Default 1 Year and 1300 later....New shoes!!!!!!!!

Forgive me the car is dirty, so it dont look as good as it should.

So i finally got around to buying my rims. Its been a year so far ugh...

18x8 Privat (Konig) Netz et.40

Just to let ppl out there with TEIN h.Techs know, the front DOES rub a little bit.

with 225/40/ZR18 Nitto Invo

Well here we go!







The Invo's look sick










Need an alignment ASAP!!!





Let me know what you think guys n gals!!!!!
Id really love to have some opinions on the wheel choice and tire choice!!



THX!

yea i saw ur thread on the black ones when i was looking for ppl with these before i bought them

i dunno the grey is a very soft n cool color it MIGHT have gone well with the rs2, just like the stock stain wheels go well.

but on the other hand, it might not have so....cant take a chance



i think its good for flint mica, it matches the car color ya know?

The Invo's feel awesome. I dont know why I waited a year to get wheels n tires, cause i didnt know what i was missing out on.

Just insane grip all the time....off the line it feels like a slingshot, instead of sittin there spinning like on stock tires....


Grip in corners are awesome also...

overall a great tire!

how bad is the rubbing and is it only on the front? i have SS-P's and they are most of the way down and i think that is lower than the H-Techs. I was looking at the same tire but i think i might have to go 215/40/18 for the Invo's my rims are 8.5 wide. any opinions?

i see in ur sig it says invo 215?

i assume u already have them ordered and installed?

if so how much of a stretch are you seeing on the tire

is the lip sticking out far past the sidewall of the tire?


and about rubbing.

with my drop it only happens over decent dips and bumps

and when i take sharp turns

what u could do is cut out a teensy area of the fender liner where the tire would meet it

u can eliminate it that way, but then u would have to deal with the chance of water getting thru and being corrosive to some parts maybe
