They told me to step up my wheel game, I told them I'd Work on it

Just picked up some Work XD9's (18x10 ET+18).

Gonna ditch the skinny stretched tires in favor of a more beefy setup. Current tires are 225/35r18 looking for at least a 245/45. Perfect size would be 275/40 if I could clear them.

They are a little on the wide side but man do those wheels ever look good on there. I agree 245/45 would probably look a fair bit better.

Gonna get a tad bit more negative camber, better tires, and a proper alignment and it should sit ok. Literally almost bought a set of fender flares today. Very close to getting them after the test fit.

Yup just a slightly taller sidewall and those will be the tits.

If it was me(take this however you want) I would keep the camber where it's at and run flairs. It would give it that wide body look which I like.

They are meaty wheels and need tires to compliment that!

I really want to, the more tire on the ground the better, Unfortunately the flares are not terribly big, but believe me a Wide Body Forester would be the goal.

Gonna look damn good, once you have real tires.

Later I'll take some photos of the tires this guy was driving with... Holy shit I can't believe he is alive.

I've seen quite a few hella flush bros driving around, definitely want to see the tires!

I like my tires meaty. Cooked well via burnouts

I think a 275/40 would be the god damn sex. It already looks great even with the tiny sidewalls, the extra meat would make it look super aggressive!

Awesome wheels also, not a big fan of Work(they always seem to be a bit on the heavy side) but they are damn sexy.

They seemed a bit heavy, but not heavier than the stock wheel by much. Then again I went from a 16x6.5 to an 18x10 it's obviously going to be a bit heavier.

I'm trying to figure out how to fit 275's currently haha.

I think for 17x9 an RPF1 is 15.9lbs, the wheels I am getting are 17.1 and a lot of the Work wheels were around 21 to 23lbs! I am not sure why they are so heavy, even Rota has wheels that are lighter. . .

You might need some flares, but flares are sexy, so it is okay!

If I can find flares, Im getting them. The ones that are easier to come across are not big enough at all. I'm talkin some hella tight JDM flares yo! Rivets everywhere!

yeah those 21-23 lbs weight is way too much! Fuck that! When I had 17x10 5zigen FN01Rc's on my LS1RX7 they were almost 2 pounds different if their offset left meat on the hub section of the wheel, I think my fronts were +12 offset and 22 pounds! That was stupid. RPF1 is pretty unstoppable as a light weight master method.
