You are aware that those wheels are well over $1k a wheel, right? I would either go with 18x9 to run 255/35 tires up front, or with 18x10 with 285/30 to be able to run the same size all around. The wider wheel will require a higher ride height and/or stiffer suspension than the 9" option.

In any case, I advise that you run better tires than the ones listed in your sig...

But, in all seriousness, look for a set of SSR comps. They are probably the best "bang for the buck" wheel available now. Or if you're patient you could wait for a good set of wheels to come up in the for sale section.

I'll second the SSR comp's and I am not biased in any way.



These are 17x8, 17x9.5, was under 2000 shipped with tires from tirerack

CCW in FL can make you a custom set in any offset/size you want for $1980 for a set of street rims. They can do 18x10's all around and then you can run a 285/30/18 which is basically the same ride height as stock. $260 per tire if you get a Bridgestone S03.

The SSR Comps will be lighter but won't offer the limitless offsets like the CCW's.

yes they are 1350.00 per wheel plus tax, plus the center caps and plus the lug nuts. I have the HRE's 545Rs.
