Just got them put on last week. 18x10 up front and 18x12 in the back. Look so much better in person.

What size tires you running? Your rear tires look a little narrow for 12" wide.

Those are really cool looking wheels. It's nice to see people get away from corvette rims every once and while. But you should seriously drop it an inch. Good choice though!

Hmmm, those look wierd in comparison with the FM5's. The thicker areas make it look like beefy 16's.

That's what I thought also. I had to zoom in on the pic to see what those wheels were

Those wheels and tires look awfully narrow on the rear to be 12s.

Who told you the wheel sizes? Did you measure them? They need to be measured from inner bead to inner bead.

Fronts are 265's and the rears are 295's. Tires came with the wheels; bought them used.

I bought them used, but that's what the guy told me. Is there anyway to measure them with the tires on?

No way in hell those are 12" wide rears...a 295 would look stretched as all hell on an actual 12" rim. Dude was full of ****.

They look good but no way the rears are 18x12 more like 18x10. Also the car would look killer lowered an inch.

Thanks. I do plan on lowering it ASAP. So if they are 18x10, would I still be able to fit a 315.

Is the guy that sold you them, local? Did he say they were fbody specific? The lips are too small. My guess is that they were made for a vette.
