I've considered trying to get extra fronts and having them widened enough to run 275 s all around. I don't know that I would like having all rears because of the lip looks good staggered sizes like it is .

What was the offset of your R278s? I had a lead on a used set but they guy said the offset was +20mm, so I thought that didn't work.

Weldcraft does widening I'm actually waiting for a quote to get my rears done from 19X9.5 to 19X10.5 or 19X11 still debating I'm going to run a 19inch drag radial.

Yeah stock i dont think they ever made a 10.5 wide wheel,they look very good,for sure worth getting an extra inch or 2 added,good looking car,i always liked these and those other wheels thats on that somss with the badass chick in the pic,i think there asa or something,kinda sucks all the good wheels for a fbody were discontinued, i mean you cant even get decent looking wheels without spending 3gs or more,your wheels look very nice though,good work

Thanks Bob yeah I was getting ready to buy a set of iforged or ccws when I came across these they had less then 300 miles on them and I got them for a steal with tires! I have 500 miles on them now I'm sure glad I didn't get 18s they just don't look as good as the 19inch with my sportlines on my car IMO

I been contemplating on powder coating or painting the centers of my 19inch Ruff 278s gloss black or maybe a matte black? I want a different look and I think it might be a nice look with the brushed aluminum lip with all black centers! What do you guys think yay or Nay???

I personally like them the way they are now, but I don't think the black centers would look bad at all.

Yeah I'm leaning towards painting them a nice black right now but I do love the hyper black color as they sit! Damn I wish I had 2 sets of them lol
