Exact same rear tires as I have. Those are the pilot 335s'x18 correct? What width rear rim did you go with?

I like the Eradispeeds. I'm seriously considering getting some myself. Do you have the "Plus" on back too, or do the rears only come in 1-piece? I almost bought some today, but the shopping cart showed 2-piece fronts and 1-piece rears, and I wasn't sure if that was right (or if they'd match ok appearance wise).

Friggin sweet. Glad to see that they fit ok. Now get some pics from the rear and an angle shot so we can get the wideness of them

Yes they are baer pro plus, the backs don’t come in 2 piece or I would have them. They save a lot of weight and look good.
The fronts used to be red now pink, got them used, they must have sat in the sun too long.
They stop like a mother.
The rim’s are HRE 547 – 18”. 10” front 11 back.
Tires pilot sx 275 35 / and 325 / 30 back.
A tad smaller then the 335’s.
There is no back shot yet because I’m not happy with the way they stick out. (You'll see in these shots)
I ordered a 9” rear a little shorter to fix that problem.
The 10 bolt is shot so all I can do is roll it out of the garage and look at it.
Well, Its nice to look at. Can’t wait to drive it. Like I said I still have to roll the fender lips.

How much narrower will the 9 incher be? You are 100% right on the stickin out part. Kinda looks like one of those geo metros that the mexicans drive, well maybe not that bad. But either way it looks sick as hell

I found the 325's on ebay from a road racer who used them on his viper.
He trimmed them to balance them and never used them.
I got 5 of them for $280, brand new just trimmed.
Got the fronts on ebay too, wanted to match the set and they don’t make the sx tires any more; It was replaced by the ps2.(AT $400 EA!) I also liked the 325/30 because it’s almost the exact same diameter as the 275/35.
The rear is getting narrowed by 1” – ½” each way.
I was told the offset was 42mm but I’m starting to think they might be 36.
With the BFH and the tubular lca’s I have 1” clear back there so ½” in should be ok.
The rear is ordered, and I’m having one of my 9” nodular center sections (from my 71) rebuilt with 3:50 gears. I can’t wait; the car has been down for a month now. That’s one for the guys who say build the car first then add the hp. I still say build the hp first and replace things as you need them. I got 12,500 mi out of my 10 bolt pushing 572hp to the wheels. I still have to do the trans and short block, but that’s all I have left, that’s a expensive but short list.

I know this is an old thread, and also know the OP is still active.
Did you ever find out if the wheels were 42mm or 36mm?
Im trying to figure out what offset looks the flushest without sticking out of the wheel well
thanks!
