Great pic, you are running 8.5 in the front and 9.5 rear?

 

[GN918]

Got the tires in 255/40/18 front 285/35/18 rear. Dollar bill gives you an idea of how wide the rear is.

Im running the 8.5's all the way around. I dont plan on going too too big on tires when I opt for wider later on down the road.

Just a heads up, be sure to order the lugs with the wheels as well! The bolt holes on the wheels are extremely small.

 

[GN918]

Got The wheels mounted on the tires here they are! It will be a couple of months before I will be able to put them on the car stay tuned!

 

[DavidM]

Those look nice. Are they 8.5 all around? The rear tire looks meaty.

9.5 all the way around

Well, again it's a matter of personal taste. 18's should look great. And I personally hate the inner city ghetto look.

I believe form should follow function. Or even be enhanced by it. So, back to what I said earlier.......Build it to have the balls to back up it's look. As for me? I like mine like this for now.View attachment 242852

them wheels look HOT!

9.5 all the way around

I only see 18x9.5 in 5x114.3 bolt pattern. Will you be using a 5x114.3 to 5x4.75 adapter?

18x8.5 comes in 5x120.

8.5 has a 2" lip while the 9.5 has a 2.75" lip.

Correct, you need a adapter anyway for the offset so the bolt pattern did not matter to me 8.5 is noticeably shallow compared to the 9.5

Caps are done! Will update when they are installed on the gn

 

[DavidM]

Looking good

 

[bigballsbilly]

I'm saving up for.these wheels. What did you do for the center cap?

9.5 all the way around

Wow. Seems like if your going that wide then you might as well have gone with 10's all around. Or at least in the back. Just when you think it's too much......That's when it's just right.
