RUFF Racing 278's in Hyperblack. 18x8.5 front, 19x9.5 rear. 255's up front, and 295's in the back. Later I will send the rears to get widened to 11", then I'll be happy with them. Put some 335's or 345's on them!! Exhaust in straight pipes with 4" Magnaflow tips welded on.

18/19's. Yep new. And I guess since there is no sponsor's that sell them, VQMotoring.com

What is the off set on these wheels?

How do they fit as opposed to the stock wheels?

Don't know the offset, but they fit flush with the fenders. I haven't bottomed out on them yet, and I'm lowered all the way on stock bolts.
