6.5" rim on 25 offset already sits flush with guards.

I'd say with a 8" thats 1.5" = approximately 38mm, giving you almost 18-19mm out from the guard. I'd say get better off set rims or drive on the inside of your tyre with the neg that you'll need.

OEM CW wheels is great but when u have a chance to snap up some forged rays at a good price, i'm sure u'll jump on it haha.

my 18s with tyres is lighter than OEM 17s with tyres (by 3kg each).

Not hard to be lighter than OEM wheels....weighs a tonne!

thanks for replies hey phillip how are 18"s? on your car is it a bit rougher i was thinking to stay within the 17" sizes only

i initially had 215/40/18 and the ride was rough (maybe the old hard tyres contributed to that) and i now have 225/40/18 and it's good.

with the higher sidewall, the gap between fender is reduced which made the car "looked" lowered haha.
