Nope, they are 18x8 in front and 18x9 in the rear.. Mostly what you are seeing is the gap between the tire and the fender (and my terrible picture taking skills) . Getting ready to swap springs, struts and a few other things on the front end which will clear up the gap

Located in Rockford, but I hang out in the NW/W burbs of Chicago alot.
