I have a set of Hotchkis springs that I'm putting on soon. I was planning on those wheels or the HRE wheels. Any problems with tire rubbing? Did you have to beat on anything to get them to fit? I plan on 18" x 10" in the rear but will not be willing to beat on anything to make them fit.

I didn't get the revalved just because I was on a budget. The revalved are probably better, how much I don't know. But I can tell you I am satisfied with my setup

I wouldn't waste the money on 18x10s out back. The lip isn't big enough on 10s for the back to justify the money spent. Do the 11s and be happy for a long time.

As for fit, I needed to roll the fender lips. As you can see in my signature, I have the fender roller and rent it out to forum members. As far as pounding, I didn't have to do any of that
