I know I've posted a bajillion wheel threads...but this is the final one.. I promise haha.

So I've decided to get rota grids, I don't autoX so i'm not worried about how heavy they are or anything like that.

But I want them black and rota only sells the black ones with an offset of 44. Would I be better off getting them with 18x9.5 e38 and getting them powdercoated black (money isn't that big of an issue), or should I just get the 18x8.5 e44??

I know that in the wheel chart, it said I would be tucked both ways so any help would be appreciated, thanks!

The ones with the 38 offset are 9.5" not, 8.5". I say get the 9.5s.

on a 9.5 wheel...tucking will be hard unless you cut and roll your fenders...

Get coils, dial in camber, and kill the wheel gap.

I have a lot to learn haha. I have no clue how to dial in a camber.

This is height i'm trying to achieve Jon..

I think you should go lower than that. It looks weak.

^ Yeah, i do want an aggressive look. So i should go with coils, then dial in the camber?..which i have no clue how to do haha. is there a therad showing how anywhere?

edit: and for tire size i was thinkin of getting 225/40

you dial in the camber by going to a shop and telling them what you want. I doubt you will be able to do it yourself
