New 18 inch ROH wheels
Here are the new tires and wheels I just purchased. Running 18x18 on the front and 18x9 on the rear. The fronts are 225x40x18 and the rears are 285x30x18. The front lip is 2 inches and the rear is 3 inches. The front fenders required some rolling of the lips. The rear fender the passenger side fits perfect, on the drivers side I had to trim the inner lip, I took off about 3mm.

Looks great Joe--you're really filling those flares out. Don't see too many 18"rs on the narrow bodied cars. Looks like those are about the limit. More info for Bill Verberg's wheel/tire database.
How do those affect the ride/handling?

nice wheels - the downside is that now you need to clean up or paint the calipers.

You also need to find a Porsche logo to cover up that "Drift R" on the center cap... unless you are both fast and furious.

There are no Spacers the offset is built into the wheel. If it was a wide body car I would need spacers to push the wheels out further.

Hi Jeremy Not sure what they weigh definetly heavier than the Fuchs Maybe the manufacture might have the specs for you on the weight. They are an Austrialian made wheel. www.rohwheels.com
