Yeah. Had to use 5mm spacers for the ST40.

I run 18x9.5ET45 on MK7.5R... it fits, more or less, but I would not recommend larger than 9" unless your prepared to really tinker with it, and accept some rare minor rubbing under full compression

Good call on the red center caps @APEXWheels

Those look great! I really need to get mine on the car, it would be nice if the ice would go away.

Thanks! Love the fitment without having to use spacers, and ST40's.

Just a *smidge* of rub on the filler neck side.

How low and how much camber

How low and how much camber

Honestly, haven't had the car in my possession to measure, but it's not tucked, and there isn't any real negative camber in the rear IIRC. Just thick meats.

I run that exact tire size & wheel offset & with 1.6° camber, get no rubbing. But I'm not very low. I think 25.5 FTG

For reference. Maybe these ECF's run a bit thiccc?

 

[MonkeyMD]

Those do look chunkier then my RE71 & RS4
