Getting them in gold would have been an added bonus on a white car.

I think you have H&R SuperSports ? Is there pads on rear and which size ? And which size is your tires on these 18" wheels ? That is what I am looking for ! Look so great man !

I'm running H&R Supersports with the stock pads (I think they're 14mm????).

Tires are Hankook V12 225/40. To be honest though, the tires are too skinny and I think it would look better running a wider tire in the rear. That's my plan when it comes time to buy new tires.

Ok, thanks. I just worried if i put 225/40/18 is there too much gap between fender and tire ? Does my car become too low or something ? But I am sure that 255/35 looks better when looks car from back but there is no difference when you look car from side.

So there canīt see difference between 225/40 and 235/40 when you look car from side ? And may I feel difference in drive between 225/40 and 235/40 ? And sorry about my english

There's a small gap between the tires and fender. Maybe around 5/8 to 3/4 inches. IMO the car isn't too low. I've actually considered getting coilovers to go even lower!

A 235/40 tire would have a taller sidewall so there would be a subtle difference in appearance. How about 245/35? I want to see someone do that on a w204 with supersports. Don't know if it would clear the front fenders though.

Here's what 245/35 looks like on 18x8.5 wheels:
