it is the type R lip for 09 bumper


damn i can't get genesis because they don't make the sizes for FD!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. It is cheaper than normal ce28n because of the financial crisis rays made it cheaper and made the sizes most common.
* 18 x 9.5, +28, 5 x 114.3
* 18 x 9.5, +34, 5 x 114.3
* 18 x 9.0, +35, 5 x 114.3
* 19 x 9.5, +22, 5 x 114.3
* 19 x 10.5, +22, 5 x 114.3

going to get the gunmetal ce28n now. $4380 i think. gotta decide in 2 days lol because his container is going to be all packed up n takes 4 weeks to make it. order now and receive in october. mmmm long wait

wow thats ages! man go for black or white! haha. nah gunmetal looks mint on silver ;)

and they are turned up high on the dampers too so, very good quality! im very happy with it!
errrrmmm apart from the odd rattle, due to me putting my dampers to the stiffest.. (you cant avoid the odd rattle when you have it stiff) they are very quiet, just like oem sus. no clunks or creeks etc..

mm if you wanted.. you can put the car on the ground with 18"s.. just gotta have the guard work done. atm i cant fit my OEM jack under the car on my stockies :( i had to borrow my mates pro jack esh! a lot of playing around to get the car lifted high enuf to get the wheels off..

i actually broke my OEM jack.. cos my car fell of it :( it hurt my side skirt too.. the paint has spider webed.. ill show you laer what i mean..

You reckon I would be safe if i lower my car so its .5 finger gap on 18 x 8" that I will be safe without rolling guards?

And wow how did the car fall on the jack? I would have shit my pants haha

19 x 8.5 +42 offset is good yeah?
hmm wonder if should stagger offset..

yeah you'll be ok =] is your offset is in the 40's?
so far i think ive lowered my car around 3 to 4" hence why i have problems..

well i think i tried to raise the car on the rear right jackpoint too high and i'm pretty sure i had 3 wheels off the ground cos my coilovers only give 1 to 2 cm's, and then it just fell away from me.. cos of the uneven weight.. lol

newbie mistake :(

i was also thinking of getting the ce28n forumla silver edition in the same offset you mentioned above. but they conflicted with the front cos its hits the coils for me, so the only offset that i could prob take is 19x8.5+29 which sticks out WAYYY too much... well way to much to get a defect :o but it will look aggressive. thats an evo offset. so now im thinking about weds sa-70 18x8+36

just get an evo =D
