VMR V710s going on the bird! PAGE 2 FOR PICS = https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-ti...ng-bird-2.html
Sup everyone! About to order some VMR v710s for my 99 WS6!
I just want someone to tell me if I'm missing anything.
So the wheels themselves I'm going all around:
18x9.5 5x120, 45+ offset, and centerbore of 72.6.
I also need hub centric rings:
Inside diameter 70.3 and outside diameter 72.6.
I've read that I can get a spacer/hub ring in one for the rears.
For tires I've read either:
275/35R18 or 275/40R18
(I got a hook up with tires, so I'll figure that out when they arrive).
Am I missing anything? - Stoked to get these ordered on Monday
I'm on BMR springs, AND will be getting the fenders rolled.

Just so you know the only difference between 275/35 and 275/40 tires would be the height of the sidewall (40 would be taller than a 35). Personally, I'd run the 40 unless there are clearance issues or a big price difference.

most of the guys i see running an 18" rim with 275-295s have a profile of 35, havent seen many with a 40 series tire. i will be running a 295-35 on 18x10.5in rims. a 35 series tire is a 25" tall tire and a 40 series is a 26" tall tire on an 18 rim just for reference

I'll be placing the order today, after searching around sadly there are no more gunmetal wheels in stock :\ and I can't wait til July/August when they will be in stock.
I'll be ordering the Matte Black and powder coating them down the road if I really want to change them up
I'll have pics soon! 
go with the 275 40 18 , i has both sizes 275 35 and 275 40 on my 85 and the 40 series rode so much better . i dont know if it will clear the front but the rear will be good.
