They are 18x8's with 245-40-18's and 19x9.5's with 275-35-19's. The difference is very subtle with the stepped lip. We also had some extra lip built into the front wheels and then milled the pads.

Fronts are on and look awesome, but I'm waiting on some parts to mount the rears. I need to swap out the lugs/studs to compensate for a spacer we're having to run on one side because the diff isn't centered. We've got company at the house for the next several days, so it may be next week before I get more garage time.

We had to do a real special build for Neil. The rear in his car is off side to side a 1/4" so we actually built one wheel with 1/4' less BS then normal and the other with a 1/4" more. So the 1/4" more side is causing a too short stud issue.

I can't wait to see these on, going to look great on his car.

I need pictures when their done
