I PM'd you some info. I would actually run a 285 or 295 out back. My overall diameter 295/35/18's are very close to my stock overall diameter as to not throw the speedo off.

How much did your set up run you, wheels only. I have thought about TT2's for a while, but I want 18's.

~$1350 from Tomzwheels with the chrome spoke option from AR, lugs, locking lugs, chrome valve stems and shipped to my door. Tires were another grand or so mounted and balanced.

yea they are custom made to order for the proper offset and finish options. I think it took about 2-3 weeks after I ordered mine before they were at my door. They got to my place faster than was expected.
