Default Ordered my new 18's

Finally stepped up and ordered my wheels. Ended up going with Full Polished Torque Thrust II's. Fronts are 18x8's with 4 7/8" bs . Rears are 18x10's with 5.75" bs. They said should be about 3-4 weeks!

Billet Specialties Qualifers:

Front: 18x8 bs 4.75" with 245x40 Kuhmo tire
Rear: 18x9.5 bs 5.5" with 275x40 Kuhmo tire.

Yeah...I cant wait! I trimmed off my wheel lips and I am sure I will need to massage the inner wheel wells a bit. For tires I went with 245/40/18's and 275/40/18's. They are the BFG G-Force KD's. Next on the list is some Willwood brakes!

Yes, you'll need the rear disks or spacers with that offset. Cool combo!

Right now I have a power wilwood disc brake kit with stock drums in the rear. Next winter I will be converting the drums over to discs and upgrading all four discs with slotted, drilled rotors. If you're going to have 18's on there you might as well put on nice discs for the world to see.

Jody, Yeah I will most likley have to run a 1/4" slip on spacer until the rear disks are installed. Should look pretty sweet when done though! My body color is 2002 Viper Graphite Grey metallic with Audi Silver ralley stripes.
