New Weels Ok lets say you had $2600-3000 for wheels and tires what would pick? Wheels need to be 18x8.5 front with 35-40mm offset and rears need to be 18x9.5 with 45-50mm offset. Also they need to be black with a pretty nice sized polished lip.
Tires will be 245/40/18 and 275/35/18 BFG KDW2's or 245/40/18 and 285/35/18 Goodyear Egal GS-D3's.

Tires are going to be Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's. 245/40/18 and 285/35/18. They SHOULD fit. I even asked the guys where I was ordering the wheels and tires. He said with that offset, plus my Pedders 5/16" drag springs and my grinding off my lip I shouldn't have any issues. Lets hope him and I are right.

Thanks. Hopefully pics in a few weeks.
After doing the math the GS-D3's with the new offset will only stick out 1/16" more than the 555R's. I got a little more of the fender I can grind off... about 1-2mm's. Overall I think they will fit fine, too bad I couldn't get these in a 49-50mm offset, I wouldn't have any worries then.

They still make them from what I know, just hard to get.
I didn't get too bad of a deal, $1700 + shipping. The GS-D3's are not cheap tires, plus they were mounted and balanced. On top of that they milled each wheel 3mm's so everything would fit better.
