just trying to see what a 18 x 7.5 with a 40 mm offset and 225/40r18 would look like with a 1.5 inch drop, trying to see if the rim will stick too far out or if it will look good, if you have pics from the front that would be great, I am more worried about the front than the rear.
thanks
steve
I forgot, I have the KYB AGX and there is not much clearance with the 205/55r16 close to the spring perch(if that is what it is called, the lower part that the spring rest in), would the 225/40r18 rub on it?
lowered 1.5", no it wont rub
I hope not, I know the 225/40r18 are very very close in size, but it is very tight to the strut, thanks
theres plently of people running a 7.5" wide wheel. you'll be fine
it'll look great.

I am looking into two rims right now,both 18X7.5, the r1 racing hype 40 mm offset
and the exel DL 46 Hyper light 45 m offset
which look almost like a match to Viper's,
I think the exel's will look better(look higher class and they cost less at about 550, once I pay for shipping and brokerage fees it should run me about 700 canadian I think, I might even order an extra rim in case I mess one up too much so I don't have to ditch the whole set if they get discontinued ),
know of other rims that look the same but may be a better cost(shipped from canada to avoid brokerage fees)?
Joe Schulte has the exel rims, I think they look very clean, set the car off really nice
borrowing joes pic for an good example
very nice look joe!,
both are nice sets of wheels.

are you serious?
the website is right on the picture. wheelmax.com
I can almost get what your looking for.
18X8, 225/40-18 tires 40mm offset and Eibach prokit and AGX's
So if you have a 7.5" rim, you'll be kosher bro, i have the toyo fenders lined up to be installed since my rims are quite wide and i want to tuck them eventually.

outside of the one from wheelmax.com,
just wanted to know if there was a source that had a rim that was almost identical to the one I found,
I got the picture from wheel max so I hope that you are joking,

thanks for the pics, I might see if a 45 offset might sit a little better with the front fender, I don't want to have to get the yoda fenders to have it fit the way I want it too.
as it is it kinda looks like the wheel if sticking out, but I have a fully stock cav outside of lowering it right now, so that could be it too.
well iirc exel wheels are made by wheelmax and i think thats the only place you will find them.

Well i had aftermarket CF fenders and i had to tweak them a little bit so i am not sure if they are close to where the stock ones were. Also my wheels are 8"s wide and not 7.5" I feel thats really what put them out so far. But i know for a fact the fenders have some what of an alignment issue. But good luck with getting your rims man.

thanks, I think I will likely at least wait until the spring, give myself alot of time to see if that is what I want
