Default AR Torque Thrusts on 02 Firehawk--Anyone tried 18s, or 17s by 8.5?

Has anyone tried 18s and if so what width? Do you know anyone who has gone the custom route and bought chrome versus polished aluminum? What back spacing works best? My Firehawk is lowered so I am a bit concerned about the 18s especially 18 by 10s. but they would look great!

8.5" width is a waste. At least go with the 9". The BFH mod can help your problem with rubbing in the rear fender if you have one.

I'm running 18x8's with a 245/40/18, and an 18x10 with a 295/35/18 Torq-thrust II. The 8" wide wheel wont "track" as bad as the 9". Plus the 8's are alittle cheaper. You can only get the TTII's in polished. I'd love it if they'd chrome them. I've got the Eibach Pro-kit on back with QA1 coilovers on front. I'm lower in front than most.

5.5" back space on front and 7.5" out back. Should be the same on a Firehawk.
