im also lowered all around with an eibach pro kit. i have no problem with the 18x10.5 on the back, put a 5/16 spacer on (im pretty sure it was that size) and did the BFH mod. tire size in the back is 295/35/18. i think when these tires are done ill probly step up to a 305 or 315. thanks for the compliments

my car is a 2000 ws6. the fronts i dont need a spacer but in the back the inside of the wheel and tire rub on the metal to the bumpstop piece. its the same way on my 94 firebird. Thats what i originally had the rims on. the wheels are 17x9's heres a pick of how they are on the car.they stick out like a mile with the spacer i have which is way to big but i dont want to have to use a spacer at all.

yea yours do stick out pretty far, they are as far out as my 10.5s with a spacer. like i said, im pretty sure i used a 5/16 spacer for my rear. what wheels do u have? the back spacing might be way off for your car.

Congrats on your wheels they look good. Is that your build # on the window? I have the same IROC spoiler and i love it. Why didn't you go with 18"s in the front?

i bought the wheels and tires off ebay, all of it for $1500 mounted, balanced and shipped. they came with that set up so i went with it. i like the look, but i wish the front had more of a dish to it. and yea that is my build number 1336, and also my sticker to get on base.
