I haven't really beat on them yet, but they're far better than my last regular street tires. Plus, they look much cooler ;-)

This is from another thread. It looks like the gbody site is still wrong.

I'm a bit confused as to the different backspacing.
Gbodyparts lists the 18x9 wheels as 4 1/4" backspace.
View attachment 322861
The backspacing GBody lists is not correct.
I measured them at 4-3/8, 4-5/8, and 4-3/4 (for the 8”, 9”, and 9-1/2” wheels).
