Thanks, but 8" is too wide for me. I want it to fit comfortably inside the fenders. But I will do some searching about ESM!!!

Are these your wheels? The reason I hesitated buying is because I can't tell if the face sticks out past the lip. Does it? If not, triple burn...

The reason I would paint it all white is because I don't like TOO much bling. I even painted the polished stainless steel muffler body of the Tanabe Medallion Touring flat black, although I did leve the tip shiny.
I just saw the wheels online, and figured that you could do something similar to the esm wheels is you want them to look like the Ronal's.

I don't see how 16 X 8 +12 will fit without rubbing even if you did stretch 205/50 on them when according to the wheel sticky you need at least a +38...

Lol Tan is exact on the specs. Youd be surprised, 175s are s drives and Yokohama makes fat ass tires so they are not THAT extreme, 165/45 on an 8 is extreme which is what I ran before.

205 is deff not a stretch on an 8 unless you get some falken 512s and even then it is barely any stretch

I have ran 165/45 on an 8 as my daily, no issue other than there is a pubic hair's with of cushy rubber between you and the road.

That sticky is not an end all say all Bible it is a guide for noobs.

ESM-001

I priced out the 15x8 on their website. They have two offsets for 4x100
and 15x8, a +35 offset and a +20 offset. Total was $700. If their online promo
code for holiday savings of 20% applies, then 700-140= $560! What a deal.
Of course, I didn't go that far but a good choice to consider. Might look something like this?

Anything over 9 inches is acceptable. (THE PUNS, THERE ARE SO MANY)
I'm waiting on the edge of my seat to see those get on your car. They're going to look so sexy.

We're going opposite ends of the spectrum it seems lol. the 92's are so small compared to yours.
