Life finally gave me an hour to get this done! For the money I love the quality of these wheels. Nice and light weight.
The only style complaint, I wish the rear had a bigger lip than the front, but Im being nit picky

ok so question to everyone running these wheels.

did you put hub centric rings on the rear wheels as well?

i have a Ford 8.8 rear end with axles from Dutchman and there is no hub on the rear for the rings to go on. so right now i only have the hub rings on the front.

I think they would fit but maybe Poke just a little. +30 is an aggressive offset. Smokinasphalt runs +30 on the rear sometimes. but i think its a wider wheel.

It's a shame they don't make the Fbody size in the polished finish yet. I've contacted them about it. I don't like the look of black / chrome on my pewter car

This car is running 18x10 +38 5x120 on all four corners. Tire sizes in the pics. Rear tires rub on the fender lips, I recommend he rolls them.

I recently did HCI/tune package to it. Fun car.

I got the last batch they rolled out before they sold out. Fitment is great, and you no longer have to use the hub centric spacers.

I ordered on May 2nd as soon as the new stock arrived and they updated the inventory on the website. It was sold out by the 5th.

What size rubber did you go with? I have same wheels and was looking at either 305 or 295. Not sure if I should run them in a 30 or 45?
