Tramonts mounted
Picked up a set of Tramonts from Darin at FD. I love the new look with these wheels compared to the MY02s.
18 x 8.5 fronts +42
235/40/18 Sumitomo HTRZ5
18 x 10 rears +58
285/30/18 Sumitomo HTR Z5
Fenders were rolled.
I wanted to get the flushest look possible and it's pretty close. With the wheels/tires mounted, I can see another 5mm poke for the rears and maybe ~8mm in the fronts that can be added.
Overall, I'm super happy with the look and feel of the car with the new set up.

Thanks for the compliments. It definitely changes the look of the car.
95_993: Thanks. With the fenders rolled, there's more room to go with the offsets front and rear if one desires. Love the look of the 285s!

The ET50 variant would not have fit without a decent fender roll + more neg camber + a more aggressive sidewall stretch. Too many sacrifices.

From what I’ve researched here, a +59 offset on the rear would work if you didn’t want to roll
the fenders. But the lip size would be 1” less.
There were a slew of variables (ride height, tire size, tire brand/sidewall profile, offset, camber) to consider running an aggressive flush set up with the ride height I wanted.
The car was aligned to factory specs. The rear is at the edge of factory which is -2.0 and the fronts are at -1.8. Car tracks well.
I’ll post some closer pics of the roll and the tire distance to the fender to help give some perspective. Looking at it in person, I have the option to go lower (maybe another 1/4” and still not rub) or the wheels can go more aggressive on the offset (maybe another 5mm less front and rear) to get a more flush look. The Sumitomos have a rounder tire profile that the other tires (ie. Yokohama, Falken, Michelin, Toyo R888) so that helps clear the fender. I was looking to go with a square profile tire but Sumitomo prices were too good to pass up ($600 for all 4 from Simple Tire). Car feels super planted.
Feel free to ask any questions. Hope this helps.
