Default 18" Smoothie 2 Pics on my TA

I just picked these up from a member in VA and got rid of my TT2s. They are 18x8 and 18x10. I am thinking of picking up a spacer for the fronts...maybe a 1/4 inch? Lemme know what you guys think!

Well, they are used believe it or not...the guy I just got them from took great care of them, and they had under 9K miles on them. Good luck finding used 18s this size though...it took me almost 2 years to find a set and bid on them first!

They are 245s up front and 285s in the rear...I'll probably get 265s and 295s when these tires wear out

Looks good man.....I really did not like the 8" rims in the front. They look awesome tho and maybe the spacer up front would be a good idea.....Anyways congrats....

and how is the fitment compared to the 17x11's you had before? My ZR1's are a little tight, and rub a bit more than i'd like...

they look awesome man, not a whole lot of difference from the ttII's, but the big lip in the back definately puts them a step ahead.
