Thanks for the compliments on the wheels. I got a smokin deal on them, because i work for Discount Tire. I need to get this thing tuned also. I found a couple of places around here that would do it (American Racing Tech in Buda Tx, Henderson Perfomance in New Braunfels). I WANT to do the headers, not sure if I can still get on the list or do the install myself? Thanks for helpin out with all of my questions.

Those rim are nice. I was thinking of getting my GXP rim powder coated black chrome, but those rims may be the way to go. Are they AR or Boss I cant find any info on AR’s web site.

The wheels are AR boss wheels. I'm not sure if they are manufactoring
that style still or not. I wanted to do something different that's why I went black chrome. I saw wheel pros makes the rockstar wheels for cars now - unsure about bolt pattern or offset. 1CL3ANSUP3RSPORT what color did you go with?

Correct, 40mm offset in front and 12.7" rotors, and they're freaking heavy.

Now JP, are you sure its 40mm not 4.0mm....cause looking at SJM 15x7.5-8" wheels to throw those M/T's on and they say the wheels they have; when looking for the 5x115 pattern. 15x7.5-8" with a back space of 4.0-5.5" which would convert to 40mm-55mm? is that how they do it when converting? As this is a first for me to know what to look for....
This is what they have on their site as the numbers I was assuming I needed:

http://www.sjmmanufacturing.com/anodized_wheels.html

15 x 7.5/8 3.5" thru 5.5"

Im thinkng that 3.5" thru 5.5" is 35mm-55mm??

I got the info from here

And if by 4.0 they mean 4.0cm then yes, but if it's 4.0" that's inches which is about 102mm...
