Looks so good. I hope someone makes an aggressive duckbill hatch spoiler like ones I've seen for 10th gen Civics. I really liked the CaRuse Design one.

Anyone with Swift/Eibach Pro/Spoon springs have passengers in your car often and have any tire rubbing issues?

Running 265/35/18 AD09 with God-spec on stock camber, lowered on Swift Springs. No rubbing.

Personally I think 275 tires look better on these wheels because 265 look a tiny bit stretched but can't say if they will rub on stock camber.

You think the front camber adjustment is needed on a 275 tire?

Definitely waited quite a while to snag mine haha- OG bronze in concave face is getting quite hard to find in good condition! Mine has a little bit of wear here and there but still 8.5/10 😊

Yeah I think so - I'm at a touch more than -3 in the front and I feel like it would rub at anything less than -3. I guess would depend on the height / suspension itself too.

Most would say no. Without pulling the alignment pins, you should be at or under 2* of camber...which is within stock spec on an FL5.

Unless you're running a large/wide tire brand you shouldn't be rubbing. I ran a 275/35/18 Nitto 555 G2 on Sportline springs and didn't rub at all at 2* of camber all around.

So I’m in the fence for CE28N Plus, how ever I’m having a hard time deciding the specs I’m
Between 18x9.5 +38 and 18x10 +40, suspension is stock I’m upgrading to spoon springs soon. I do like the concave on the 18x9.5 +38 but I believe it’s a face 3. And the 18x10 +40 is a face 4 if I’m correct. What would the benefits from one to the other. I do plan on running 265 tire. Thanks for any suggestions.

For me, the reason to run thr 18x9.5 +38 set up would be cost and availability. Otherwise I'm running the God Spec all day, every day and on a 275 tire. 265 on a 10" wide tire will have a slight stretch to it unless it is a bigger tire.

Ok, so out of both wheels which one has the most lip ? God Spec or 18x9.5 +38

10" wide wheel has the potential for more lip, but this would be dependant on other factors. I think if you confirm one wheel has face-3 and the other is face-4, you'd be happier with face-4.

Outstanding fitment on this thread. Any reason 19x10 on 265/30 tire with 39 offset would be a concern? According to fitment calculator its nearly identical but am unsure why I dont see anyone opt for a 19" package other than tire prices, availability and comfort vs and 18 with 35 wall.
