they don't sell the 18's in that size. 18x8 and 18x10s are your choices. I am running maximum backspacing on the fronts (18x8), and a +40 offset on the rear 18x10s (forget what backspacing that is)

I love the rears but take note I had to roll the fenders a bit so they wouldn't rub over really good bumps. I wish I could have gotten 18x9 for the front but the 18x8's are just fine. I'm running a 295/35 rear and a 245/40 front tire and nice part is that the rears clear the bump stop so I can still jack up from one side if needed rather than from the center. Not a big deal either way but I have small jack.

no your wrong and everyone else is right. thoes are TTM's not TTII's. your looking at a completly different wheel than what you are asking about. let me make it clear.

ahem, TTII's DO NOT come in 18x9.

http://www.americanracing.com/wheels...shed&section=A

18x10 or 18x8. thats it.

do not come on here not knowing what you are talking about and try to tell people they are wrong. Blackbirdws6 already said if he could have gotten 18x9's he would have, but he didnt because they dont make them in 18x9, only 18x8.

Tomzwheels is where I got them from and my experience was a good one so I would certainly recommend him. As said above, TT2's in the 18" size only come in 8" and 10" widths. Not really sure why they don't have the 18x9 but the handling of the car is still improved over my stocker 16's with the 50 series tires.
