would those melt right off? they look just like regular stickers rather than the "bubble" type emblems.

Just ordered 527's in Flat Black for my Firestorm FRS. I went with 225/40/18 tires and ordered some Eibach prokit lowering springs. Has anyone had any kind of problems at all with this set up yet? i read something about the rim catching during drive thru car washes? :/

What size did you get? You should be ok if you did not get 9.75 and/or +20 offset. 8.75 +3X should be good to go. Don't go to drive thru car washes if you care about your paint. Side mirror and wipers always get torn up.

I got 18x8.75 +35 all the way around with 225/40/18's. What exactly do I need to do to make the rear flush with the front on this set up? lowered on Eibach Pro Kit

1. I know i will need a spacer but which one? 5mm or 10mm?

2. would it be cheaper to get camber bolts or spacers?
the spacers seems expensive especially the 10mm ones. does anyone know where i can find them for cheap?

3. With spacers will i need the extended bolts? sorry guys im a newbie :/

I have the same setup except hotchkis springs and 235/40/18 tires meaning my tires are wider than yours.

1. I have room to accommodate a 5mm spacer to help with oversteer at autocross. You should be plenty fine with a 10mm.

2. Camber bolts are not going to make your wheels "flush" if that's what you are looking for. Negative camber helps people with tires that are to big tuck them under the fenders. Sounds like you want spacers. You gotta pay to play brother. Don't go cheap. The twins are to new for that.

3. Yes extended studs are required.

Buy hub centric rings with these wheels! I had small vibrations and figured for $7 bucks I would give them a try. They work great and they are stupid cheap.
