yes, the passenger side wheel rubbed on the bumper, luckily it is not painted yet so I just trimmed it to clear. I think my castor is off though as well, the wheel appears to sit farther forward in the wheel well so I need to adjust the a-arms and get it re-aligned. they also rub the fender liner, but I'm letting it clearance itself, have about 4k miles on the setup and it doesn't rub much anymore unless I am cornering hard.

Oh thats terrible. I didn't even know, I am sorry. I sometimes forget I do not drive a Camaro any longer. I love the engines (LS ftw) but the vehicle weight always kept me from keeping up with my friends (they all have more power or lighter cars) so I needed the 1000lb advantage the JDM platform offers. Lighter wheels make a HELL of a difference, it doesnt matter if they are pretty or not; just get some lightweight wheels/tires and enjoy the economy if you drive long distances alot.

Enkei did at one time make an 18 x 10.5 NT03 in a 5 x 120.65 bolt pattern, but I believe they discontinued even that.
IF I end up giving up on the f body platform, and go the FWD route with a Fiesta ST, I am getting some Team Dynamic wheels for it (ALSO not made for the GM bolt pattern
).These are; light, strong, 'streetable', and affordable, unlike most of the high end forged stuff out there.

It took me 7 years to decide on a wheel I think would look good on my 01 TA. I hate that 95% of the cars on here either have some Vette wheel, CCWs, Fikses, and the occational TTIIs.
I ordered some forgelines a couple months ago. They finally shipped them and sent some pics. I won't be home to put them on until August. Waiting sucks.
They are SO3Ps, 18x10.5 +56 all around, and I'll be putting 295/35/18 Nitto Invos on them. I wasn't home to measure for fitment, but after a lot of reading on here, I found a few guys that are running Vette wheels in that size and offset on all 4 corners. I was tempted to get them with a deeper lip in the rear and narrow the axle I'm building for it, but I decided to keep a "square" set up so I can rotate them, and if I ever sell them, they'll fit any 4th gen with a stock axle. So I hope they fit and I don't have to send them back to be re-hooped lol.
I'll report back when they are on the car. They turned out better than I expected. These are mine, not a stock photo.
