Default Thin spoke square set up

Anyone have pictures of a square set up with the stock thin spokes? I like the thought of 18s all around. Would kinda be nice to actually rotate tires too.

Not with the thin spokes, but I run square 18 inch wagon wheels on all four corners. Fits nice, drives great, and like you said - now I can rotate.

275/40-18 on all four corners. Next time I will probably go 275/35, but they fit just fine with no rubbing or issues and I'm slightly lowered.

My dad uses 18" thin spokes all around with 275/40R18 tires as his street setup on his '02 coupe. It works well and his car is lowered on the stock bolts. I use an 18" square setup as well on my '03 Z, but all of my wheels are wider than the thin spokes.

Here's my 18" square setup. Unfortunately the chrome is starting to peel in places and I've got a set of 17/18 Anniversary wheels that I'm planning to switch to, once the tires need replacing on the 18" wheels.
