Re: PLZ POST PICS OF UR 18" WHEELS! Hey XtaZ did you have any clearancing problems? What tire size are you running? I want to run a 315 if I can. But I'll be satisfied with a 295 if it won't fit.

There was a little rubbing on the inner wheel well, nothing a hammer and some undercoat couldn't fix. As for 315's they would fit, but may increase the rubbing issue, but again the hammer should fix that just fine, and a small 1/4" spacer would really help too. BTW my rear wheels have a 58mm offset, so if the wheels you are looking at have a smaller offset the better shape you woul be in.

Re: PLZ POST PICS OF UR 18" WHEELS! I kinda remember reading something about traction issues with 18s as opposed to 17s. So you guys w/ 18s agree with that? Or is it just too small to notice? Sorry to steal the thread

Re: PLZ POST PICS OF UR 18" WHEELS! what back spacing are you guys using on your 18x9.5 wheels for the back? 6.5 or 7.5
I am eventually going to put 18x9.5's all around with a 1.5" drop and want the wheels to be flush with the fenders, not inside the wheel well. What back spacing should i use?
