Extras*- no pads front and smallest pads rear(dont have part numbers)
Recommendations*- there is a bit of rub in the front but it varies depending in the tire brand. I always run 225/40/18 in front but some tires have narrower walls so they dont rub unless at full lock and have passanger. Rear doesnt rub at all.

Tire Size(s) - 225/40/18 Falken Ziex Front, 255/35/18 Michelin Pilot Sport Rear

Just got my staggered monos today !!!
18x8 ET 31
18x9 ET 35
They're currently chrome, I have a buddy
who refinishes wheels and hes going to
clean em up, spray em down and make em silver
tomorrow. Not sure if silver with an actual chrome lip
is going to look good or if I should have him spray the lips
with a "chrome effect" which looks like a high luster allow colored paint. (chime in)
Also -
Debating on 265 or 255 rears? I bumped my rear pad up to #4 (chime in)

I would have them powdercoated silver with matching lips.
Wheels: Carlsson 1/6 evo diamond, 18x8f, 18x9r
Offset(s): 35f, 35r
Tire Size(s): 225/40/18f, 255/35/18r (when tires are new, front can rub slightly on the plastic shroud at front of wheel well)
Suspension: Vogtland springs, Koni externally adjustable
Extras: #1 pads all four corners, no camber kits
Fenders Rolled: Yup
Recommendations: The ride can be harsh and bay area roads are brutal on the wheels. They're frequently bent and the lips chipped from all the potholes. May just go "disposable" and replace a cheap set every couple years.
It's just a basic Yakima roof rack - the kind that clamps to the edge of your roof and ruins the rubber liner on the door where it meets For an added bonus you can watch the paint get ruined if it slides at all. The fit at the front isn't optimal, but it's all I could find.
I'll see about some more pics this week.

Slideshow: A one-of-one U.S.-spec Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster became even rarer after a factory-backed transformation at McLaren's headquarters.
