Thanks for all the compliments. Im trying to find the backspacing numbers I used. When I do Ill post them just in case someone is shopping for this look. When I was doing my research this spring, pictures with numbers were a huge help.
I ordered them through the tire shop at a Pontiac dealership in town.
Im running intrax springs, which are pretty low.

Here is the backspacing I used.
The front 18x9 with 6.5" backspacing
The rear 18x10 with 7.25" backspacing
To me this is perfect for these cars. But like I said earlier I had to roll the rear fender lips. Lowered guys like me running intrax or sportline springs may want to consider moving the rears in and eighth of an inch or so to avoid rolling the lips. I hope this info helps somebody out there.

Makes me miss my smoothie 2s. But I only had 18x9s all the way around. Just wasnt wide enough for me in the rear. The 10s look much better. But 11s would be sick if they made them
