Looks great man....I wish I could get some. Could you post a front shot(looking at the tread) of how the Nitto 275/40/18's fit on the 10's. That is the same size I am running but on BFG KD's. Just kinda wanna see how these tires look width wise in comparison.

Thanks!

As you can see,the Nitto's are pretty "square" tires w/o much buldge.This is gonna help me bigtime w/clearance...

Wink One more little detail...

Jon had my rear pads shaved just a bit to afford me a little bit more clearance.Notice how the rear edges of the spokes meet the edge of the pads in the fronts vs the rears as well as how much further the centercap is sunk in on front vs the rear...front b/s is 4.875",rears are a custom-made 5.625"

Front:


Rear:


I tell ya...that Jon Henson is one sharp cookie.

Thanks John! You really flatter me....

We are VERY happy that you received the wheels in good form, and that you are excited about putting them on your very nice camaro. That car is going to be transformed by the new wheels. Looking forward to seeing them all bolted on!

I will unfortunately be gone until Next Tuesday due to a death in the family. We will be up in Sacramento until Monday night. If anything comes up, you can try my cell phone.

Thanks again for running our wheels, and we are pleased to be of service.
