    hey guys, after waiting weeks and weeks to get my ride lowered, there was a prob with the ordered rims and now i gotta choose another set.

    After looking at alot of brands, i found some nice german rims, Keskin KT 10 .
    the size is 8,5Jx18 5/114,3 ET40.
    My dealer says he's a bit scared to order them coz he thinks they are gonna come out of my front fender. The fitted tires are the normal gts stock tires for now, since its 1460 euros for the rims already. i just dont want to have fender dmg when i hit a bump or smthn due to the tires coming out.
    Anyone running the same size can give me some advice?

    Thx in advance.

    18x8.5 40 et ( offset) will stick out a little but there's not going to be any damage to your front fender, maybe the back fenders will need some fender roll. I have 18x8.5 30 offset and they stick out of the fender like 1 inch, and it needed fender rolling in the back.

    8.5 is very wide , maybe agressive for the GTS, If you dont want to do any work on the fenders I recomend 18x8 and stick with the 46 ET ( 46 gts oem offset) so you dont have any problems.. Hope this help you out!

    Thx for the info m8, yeah, didnt want any work, and i chose another rim thats 8*18 offset 45
    This was actually my first choice, but due to a bad designed website, my dealer was first told they didn't fit my lancer. So soon to be under my ride (Msw is a division of OZ, bit cheaper priced): [​IMG]
