I work for Discount Tire and put these on a buddy's 06 Mustang GT. We went with the black ones, 18x8.5 and 18x10 with a 255/40r18 and 295/35r18 BFG G-Force T/A KDW NT, he spent about $2200 because he went with the full warranty on the tires and lugs and locks and all that. Car looked real good though, definately a nice wheel!

Do you have any pics to post up? I have the AR Rebel 18 x 9 in the front with 25mm offset and they fit fine(well some minor rubbing at full turn). To be honest I would have preferred them to tuck in just alittle more maybe 1/2" or so but I think they still look pretty good and have gotten several positive comments Here are some pics of mine. BTW may rears are 18 x 10 with 41mm offset(so they actually tuck in about 1/8" more than the fronts)

I respect that AR advertises the 9" wide Rebel as a 25 mm offset . . . But visually there is no way that is a 25 mm offset wheel . . .

Looks sharp.

When I was researching these wheels I thought the same thing, so when I got them I measured the BS and I think it was inline with the 25mm offset. But now that I think about it the number 6" sticks in my mind and that would be about 38mm offset. Now your going to make me pull a wheel and check it again. Guess I should have took a picture the first time, damnit!!

I real do think that the adversized offset is correct cause the lip on the rear wheel is just alittle smaller than the front which should be correct since the rear is 18x10 w/41mm offset.

A 25 mm offset would net an approximate 6.03" BS . . . wierd . . . Firebird front fenders must be quite a bit wider than Camaros, cause your wheels fit just like my 38 mm 9.5" . . .

Wheels are always teaching me something new.

I think I'm having a brain fart.

9" x 25.4 = 228.6mm
228.6mm/2 = 114.3mm = center line of said wheell
114.3mm + 25mm stated offset = 139.3mm
139.3mm/25.4 = 5.48" = backspacing?

or

9"/2 = 4.5"
6"bs-4.5" = 1.5"
1.5" x 25.4" = 38.1mm offset

Please help

BS and offset are related but not and exact calc, since the rim beads are missing in your calculations. Rim beads are typically around 5" thick . . .

So in your fist calc you have 5.48" + .5" = 5.98" . . . Make Sence?

anyone notice that these wheels have a stainless steel lip? I wonder if its a misprint or if they are really stainless.
