i actually prefer no spacers unless it's like a 3mm or 5mm to clear a caliper

10+ will compromise wheel bearings long term

Ok so Ill just drop it like its hot and be done. No spacers it is.

Im going forged oem and wanted to push them out a little but not worth it. I can’t stand the look of 18s on this thing and love the oem setup.

Excellent choice. Looks good on the FL5 and on the Boost Blue. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Maybe spacers at that point. @UFO CTR is probably excellent source of info on that.

I wrestle with choosing between those two wheel sizes myself. I think 19 looks better. I'd like to drive the damn car first before a decide.

Would you swap tires over or get new tires more suited for duty up your way? If so.. would you go 35 on the profile?

Winter set-up back on for the duration of winter:
18x9.5 ET45, Pirelli All Season 265/35/18 & Eibach Sportline lowering springs
What y-all think?

2-weeks to the day from spring install, so plenty of time for settlement.
So back at speed shop getting alignment, and mind-as well have the break-in oil changed. Went with Motul 810 - Eco Lite. Wanted Amsoil Signature, but they didn't carry, so Motul it is!

18x9.5 +45 Regamasters and dropped on swift R springs

Love this shot. Hard to tell since I edited the plate out but the license plate is the "Friends of the Blue Ridge" plate and the mountains are in the background.
