17x9.5/18x10.5. Spacer pushed the rear wheels out a bit to make the wheels sit flush with the fender. Gives it a nicer stance.

Sitting on hotchkis pro kit springs.

Glad you guys like them cuz I'm lovin them!!

Looks great! Those are the ones I'm going with once they make the 18x9.5 for the front.

Where did you get the spacer and studs btw? How were they to put on? What was the exact process? Just wanna know how you did it for when I have maybe put them on.

i cant wait to get my set over christmas. and temple u, its very simple. you remove the brake caliper+rotor first. there should be a sensor on the hub, one bolt and its off. it will make a hole for the studs to be removed/installed. hammer out the old studs, and put the new ones in. take a thick washer and place it between the hub and lugnut. tighten with an impact gun until the stud is all the way in. repeat for the other 4
