Default Weld RTS 18s

Well I just finished the install on these about a month ago, and finally remembered to snap a few photos for those who might be interested.

They are 18x10s front and 18x11s rear. Pretty much copied the STi Killer setup. 295/35s front and 315/30s rear. It has an S60 narrowed 2.25 on each side and I am super happy with how it turned out.

That was stage 1 of the makeover. The paint job is actually getting a little old and worn and I'm over the flames, so it will be getting a new NBM paint job with SS spoiler and Sunoco hood this year. The engine build will follow. Damn expensive hobby!

Great choice! It looks perfect!

Do those come with front centercaps?

Thanks!

Yeah they come with the caps. I just didn't put them on. I'll probably put them on when I do the 500 mile rear end service.

You know, I planned on it but totally forgot. I wish I would've remembered so I could compare them to my TTIIs. Best I can do now is weigh them with tires.

Looks awesome. Great combo for a camaro. What is the back spacing/offset? how do the 295's fit in the front? hows the street handling?

7.1" backspace in the front and 5.6" backspace in the rear. Same setup as GMHTP's STi Killer.

The 295s fit perfect. No rubbing with Hotchkis springs and Konis on the lower perch. It darts around a little more now, but that's the nature of the beast. My car is due for a front end rebuild though, so with that and an alignment, there should be an improvement.

Thanks guys! I guess it doesn't look too bad for an old POS.

Get some more pics when you get a chance. I'd like to see some close-ups of the wheels.

Mine is a narrowed S60 that I ordered. Other than that, you would have to take the stock one to a shop that does custom rear work. Waste of money to do that to stock rear IMO.
