First of all, I know I have to get it lowered! All my suspension stuff is in my house, about to go on. What do you think?

i love HRE's i was pricing them yesterday at work. it will take a little hammering but i want 18X13 in the back with 345/18 BFG G-force drags and i can't decide on 18's or 17's in the front by 7.5" wide with a 225/17 or 18 BFG G-force KD in the front. just over $5,000 for everything.

The fronts are not dished much and I don't want them to be. The rears are, kinda hard to tell from the angle I tooks the pics. I'll take some closeups later. I don't like a super deep dished wheel, the back ones are perfect for me. Here is a different angle.

Congrats! Those wheels are absolutely awesome. Try and get some bigger pics if you can.

The way HRE does the offsets leaves very little lip; thats one of the main reasons we have never purchased a set, in addition to price of course. A lot of their C5 fitments are the same way, front spokes are flush without any lip and the rears have a slight amount. Its all preference, personally the more cell phones I can fit on the lip, the better!

I tried to post bigger pics but the site would only accept small pics. It looks much better close up, the rears have a nice lip. The fronts actually have a decent lip too. I posted bigger pics on my local site:

Nicetry, when you are ready to get those 18x13 let me know, I may be able to help you out with the dimensions, although I would recommend only going 12.5" wide.
I am running an 18x11.5 on a 335 and it was an EXTREMELY TIGHT fit with alot of hammering. I still need to get the fender lips rolled but I talked to a guy at a local shop that builds race cars and we figured out how to "mini tub" the car without going into the interior. It does involve some cutting and welding but is doable.
I want to switch over to a set 19/20" HRE545R set up with a 20x12.5 on the back.
Maybe over next winter.
