Any more pics or info on this setup? I love the 18" setup with meaty tires, its a shame you don't see more
I don't have any more pics but yeah I agree, 18" is such a good look.

I'm trying to figure out what size tires to get for an 18x10 wheel. I only want to run these in the rear and still use the performance pack wheels in the front.
You can get a MT ET street SS at 305/40/18 (28" tall tire) which is nearly oem pp size (27.7"). A lot of people like that tire height for drag racing so it'll look good AND be functional (most people run 305/45/17, which is 27.9").

I'll try that out, I should have plenty of clearance since I'm only lowered 0.5in in the rear. Thanks!

@aleccesarenriquez are you using spacers? I want my rear wheels to be flush with the fender or maybe poke out just a bit.

On my personal setup I'm not but it depends on the offset of the wheel. Which set of wheels would you be running in the rear?

No you shouldn't need spacers. I see AM is having a really good sale on these as well. Good chance to pick them up

Find out their offset to be 100% sure though. You want it to be around +50-55 to sit flush.

I picked some up this morning, after tax and everything it came out to $375. Thanks for all the advice!

If you want an 18" wheel, you're going to need at least 40 sidewall. 305/40/18 is a good size.

This is an 18" setup:

Is there any way we can get more pics of this setup? I know this is an older post.

Sorry man I wish it was my setup but my buddy got rid of it a while ago. I think people don’t usually run 18s and he was on coilovers so that combination made it stand out

OMG you've convinced me to go 18s. That is just so nasty. Love that meaty look and i need to see more. Thank you so much for following up on this setup! You just don't see it on the street or internet often.
