Default Weld 18" RTS for 99 WS6
Thinking I want to go with an 18x9.5 for my WS6. What is the proper size backspacing/offset I need? Where is a good place to buy them? I've only purchased aftermarket wheels from Tire Rack before.

Any advice or pics is appreciated!

Agreed the tire you are running on the 18's has alot more to do with traction in the wet as well as gas mileage
