Thanks! 18"x12". I prefer meatier tires. I already have the wheels and they are already mounted on the car with 335/30-18's. I will post the rest of the pics in the next day or so to show the current status.

Looks good.

Do you still have the old set of 17" wheels?

G-Force installed the rear, roll bar and painted the underside.

A friend and I are responsible for the front suspension fab.

My dad and I painted the firewall and subframe in my garage.

They were sold a while ago. I still need to order the new fronts, but that isn't top priority at the moment.

Some random pics from the recent reassembly process.

Motor/trans dropped in



Lug nut selection... You guys feel free to comment on which you'd prefer as I would love your input. The hub pad on the wheels is rather thick. The lug nut on the right is longer than a standard open ended unit. The one on the left is an off the shelf piece from race shop.



Custom bracket made to hold prop valve and clutch reservoir



Prop valve and front brakes plumbed



Battery Mount installed



One rear tire sitting next to tires for my Subaru




Tire fitment tool for determining proper offset for rears



Wheels mounted!!!
