Ruff 278's installed!! Finally got me a set of Ruff Racing 278's. These are 18x8.5/9.5 staggered, graphite painted (they call it Hyperblack) centers with polished lip.
I threw them on yesterday, but didn't get a chance for good pics until this evening. Enjoy.

The 35mm offset is perfect up front for the 8.5" wheel. You couldn't go any further though. 45mm in the rear looks very aggressive. I didn't roll the fender because i'm not that low. It's really borderline...with lower springs I would definitely have rolled it just to be safe. I already accidentally tested the clearance...hit a ledge from a newly paved road (I was going from a just prepped road to a newly paved one...looked like about a 3" jump) at about 40mph, and the tires never touched anything.

I actually have a set of rears for sale because I originally wanted to have 9.5" width all the way around, however the 9.5's don't fit the front because of the spoke design. They won't clear our front calipers. Plus they have a near 4" lip and that would look really strange on the front anyway. If anyone here is interested, PM me about them. I have a thread up in the FS section too.
