I have just recently joined the FM5 group. I have ordered mine with titanium black centers. 18x9.5 front. 18x11 rear with a 6" narrows Fab 9. In another month, should be close to receiving.

Correct, they are FM5's, and they are going on a red vert. So we are much different.

What tires did you guys go with? I'm heavily leaning toward the BFG drag radials and BFG kd's for the front. Their thread pattern is similar.
