Does anyone run 18X8 KMC Rockstar wheel on their MCS?
I saw some on a MCS and want the same look. The wheels are 18X8 with 215/35/18 tires.

Please let me know if you have run this set up and did you have to make any mods due to rubbing.

A have 215 35 18 tyres on mine but I believe a small mod is required to prevent the rubbing

If I recall, the 18x8 Rockstar wheel has a +45 offset. With a 215/35-18 tire, you should not have any problem rubbing.

I run a 18x8 KYOWA EVOLVE (+45) with KUMHO ECSTA AST 215/35-18 tires and I have no problem at all. The car has also been lowered 1.4" too.

If you're referring to steering lock limiters, they're only required for 18" OEM JCW wheels because of their high (ET52) offset.
