Three Wheelin'
Nice!!!!!! What did you do for fitment in the rear? Mine required a small spacer that would rather not run honestly.
Seems like 225/285 is the perfect combo for these wheels.

My rear studs are the short style with no spacers. I could maybe run a small 5-7mm to push it out a little further toward the fender but probably won't.

Mostly due to concerns with the et 50 working out. I went with what worked for others this go around. These are cheap tires that if they make it through the summer that is a bonus. They seem nice but I usually run PS2's. I didn't want to tear up the PS2's until I could confirm for myself that the wheel and tire combination would survive.

Brad, an 18" wheel with a 225/45 tire is going to have a pretty dang tall side wall. As was noted on S cars that ET50 offset is just barely getting by anyway, so you really want to keep that 225 tire as far away from the fender as you can...
