Default Foose Nitrous II

Anyone have these wheels? I am looking at the 18x8 / 18x10 combo, and was wondering what back spacing to get. Also how do you think they will look on a Pewter camaro?

I think these would make a great alternative to TT2's.

$1900.00 with tires online. I have a friend that is getting them for me with Nitto drag radials and Nitto NT555's for $1500.00 plus shipping.

Gunmetal spokes would look really good on those.

I have the boyd smoothie 2's in those exact sizes and love them. I think the rears are like 58. I fit 315/35/18 in the rear and 245/40/18 in the front. Good stuff. You might want an adjustable panhard bar because in a hard turn your wheels will rub a little.

Thanks,

I think I am going with a 285/35/18 on the rear, and same size on the front as you.
