I actually traded my stock 10 spokes for them and am not to sure about the sizes. The fronts are 18x9 ish and the rears are 19x10ish.

Had to beat the rear wheel wells a little but they fit fine now with 285's on the back.

I think the rears are roughly a 79mm offset.

Wheels are awesome....awesome....pics are blurry tho.

Lower,lower, lower.........must, must, must.

I got new rotors that are nickel plated and painted my calipers red and it made a huge difference even with the 10 spoke SS wheels. Now that you have the open wheel, all the MESS shows in there. DEF need paint/polish your calipers, and at least take off rotors and mask brake area and paint cast area silver or something....quick and very rewarding. New Brembo rotors nickel plated have looked FAB for over a year now....just a suggestion.

Love NBM cars...

Yeah I hate the way the brakes look now. Not only are they dirty and rusty (car sat for almost a year) but they are too small also.
