not a huge fan of stretched wheels, especially on these cars. I think it'd look better with more low and about 10mm more positive offset (they stick out a tad too far passed the fenders.. could just be the way it looks in pics though)

But I do love the wheels, they look great with the car

What size tires? 305s or 315s Im assuming?

As far as looks, I like it. But thinking about driving it makes me kind of cringe lol. Tiny sidewalls with big heavy wheels and super wide tires up front would make for a bumpy and jerky ride that follows every dip and line in the road.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Looks damn good IMO. stance ain't bad and you couldn't of picked a better wheel, but I hope it doesn't track and rub like a bitch up front. Props overall, but let us know how it rides.

all the wheels stick out about 1/2" to far and the *** end is to raked up to high for how low the front is, also not a fan of the spoke design, "mesh" wheels just flow better on birds.

hey you asked what we thought, I hope your skin is thick enough to take our opinions without getting mad.

I've really been studying up on wheels lately as since I will be needing tires come tax return time I'm hoping to make it tires and wheels so I've seen many pictures of birds and wheels lately.

also is there a reason the front and rear tires are different brands/models of tires?

I actually kinda like it! Nice job on the stance. If you don`t mind me asking, what size spacers and how low is your car? How did you modify your fenders?

What tire size(s)? Looks to me like the front is a narrower tire than the rear as it looks a little stretched to me, making it look a little odd.

Looks good to me. I would have probably done a 18x10/18x11 setup myself, but man are those wheels killer!

Well I dig the rims, just not the front. Your going to really stress the rack and PS pump. The turning radius must really suck. I think it would be better with like a 8"wide rims for less stress on the whole front and able to turn. If you wanted it wider, then some spacers. I can understand a track road car, a bit much for the street.

Its still a nice car. Just a bit much on the front.

The tires are 285/35r18 rear and front is 265/35r18

The reason I got them this size is because some guy was selling them on craigslist. He was selling these wheels 18x11 with 285/35r18 michelins pilots super sport tires. BRAND NEW TIRES AND WHEELS. The wheels still had the plastic on them. For only 800 bucks. This set up is worth 4k. each wheel is 635 plus tax and shipping and each tire is 300 plus tax and shipping and mounting. Thats why I got them asap.

I had to roll my rear fenders and cut my front fenders.

I like them, especially the rears. Could go wider there for even better looks.... I love my 315's. the front tires look small to the rim but you can at next tire purchase.

Good buy man and nice bird!

You got to be ******* kidding me. You paid $800.00 total for that setup? Why can't I ever find deals like this. I need to just pay someone to comb through CL and find the **** I need.
