just lurking around here. i really like those rpm 505's, they look sexy as hell! is there anyway to run a 18x9 up front? i see a website says rear only, but if it has a wider lip, wouldn't it fit? i know its a lot of tire up front, but then you can rotate tires, and i love that 'fat lip'

hey, guess what, read the sticky! from what i read there, looks like it will work as long as 38mm offset is factored in. if anybody has any more input on this selection, feel free to add...

The DPE R05-S Variants I have for sale (with trade) have decent-sized lips.

Fronts are 18x9 (275/35/18):

Rears are 18x10 (295/35/18):


PM me if you're interested.

I like those 360 vettes and I like your idea. The only thing is that they have big lips and big wheels so I think 17s wouldnt work and 19s are too big for you 18 may be your best bet and there lots of choices it just depends on your budget. Good luck with your search.



Wow..those are tight..Those are the ones I was looking at,but your the 1st one to have pics of them..I wasn't sure if I wanted to go for the hypersilver or chrome..They both look sweet..

I'm getting these in 18x9.5 in front and rear. I think the hypersilver makes these rims look sick!
I think they will look clean on my car but not make it look ridiculous...kind of a smooth kind of rim, if that's what you're looking for.

mine are 35mm offset, had a tiny bit of rubbing on the right rear only (don't think panhard bar is adjusted quite right) also these cars tend to sit lower on the passenger side. My car is slammed as well.

Definitely would not go any lower offset than 35 tho - 38 is probably the safest bet tho if you want zero issues
