They look the nuts but I would say they are boardering on being illegal given how far past the arch line they are!!

Thanks guys, I'm glad you guys like how the new wheels came out.....i didn't expect these kind of comments tbh.....
The last pics was just a fitment pic when i first got the tyres on the wheels....
Thanks Jon, the rotors are the DBA 5000 w/ Hawk HP+ pads.....

Looks pretty **** IMHO, bet it rides like an old cart. Shouldn't you be driving an old VW with that amount of poke on your rims?
Surely illegal too....

It does look like it drives like a old cart, but the 255 on there is gripping enough for me at the moment til i squeeze some 265.....

Must be something in the air with changing wheels
Fair play wedging those 10.5 under there
What happened to the paint on the front fender ?

That's what it seem like it's the thing to do lol
The fender chipped when I was rolling the fender cause I didn't apply enough heat when before rolling it
I still got a bit of suspension travel, I went to the nurnburg ring w/ the same ride height and same tires but on 18x9.5.....

if the tyre tread is within the cars arches = pass
it matters not about how far the sidewalls or rim/lip protrudes.
looking at what i can see from the pics i'd pass that.
also i like it and nice choice on the wheels,nice change from rota grids,force,torque etc.

Not for me, sorry. The wheels actually look too small with that stance
