Your tire will fit on the 10 inch wheel. I am running the Billet Specialties SLX01 on my car. I have 18x9 with 255/40s on the front and 18x10 with 295/35s on the back. I know I could have gone wider in the front, but I went with 255s on the front because I wanted sidewall heights to match front and back. One important word of wisdom is too make sure the backspacing is correct. I have 7.25 inches of backspacing for the rear, but I get a little rubbing. The fit looks perfect (perfectly at the edge of the wheel well, not sticking out, but not too far in either). My suggestion for a ten inch wheel would be 7.5 or 7.75 inches of backspacing. At least for the Billet Specialties wheels.

Damnit looks like I'm not gonna be the only one with these SLX37 rims! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> , I try to be unique and soon enough someone else gets them.

Alright I'm just kidding (somewhat <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ), they will look great on your car. I don't have any pics with it on my car as I just ordered them a week ago.

I ordered 17x10's and my tire size is gonna be 275/40/17 on all 4's. I'm gonna wrap these rims on some Nitto tires <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> , and then take them off and dump the stock 16's I have for the fall-winter months. I'll try to take pics ASAP when I get them on.
