Bought new 18x11,18x9.5 xxr531's tire sizes are 305/30, and 285/35. I think the look great. I cut the rear springs haven't got to the front yet. The look a ton better than the black cobra wheels that were on it
I've only owned the car for a month. I traded the hood for a stock one and got new wheels and upr adjuster.

Looks good and nice progress as always, Jeremy! We should get the 'verts out in the spring for a few pics/runs.

Lookin good, definitely improved but not enough sidewall in the back for me. I would have either went wider in the back or went with a 35.

Where did you pick the rims up? I've been looking but can't quite what I'm looking for. I've seen them on eBay but can't find the backspacing and width that I want and you seem to have nailed what I'm looking for.

Wheels look good, but +1 on the sidewall. The front has heavy sidewall and the back is in desperate need of more. Love the parchment top too :beer:

Much improved, great looking cobra. What kind of lift is that? Do you have a standard 20x20 garage, also did you have to tear the old concrete out and install thicker layers. I would love to have a lift at home, I hate working on the concrete.

Looks way better.

The tire situation, height, and back spacing needs some adjusting but at least you got the wheels taken care of.

The lift is a Titan low ceiling height lift. No need to change concrete 4" 3000 psi min requirement. I got it for 2100 delivered.

Thanks on the wheels I still need to mess around with the ride height the rear tires were $99.00 each but that was the only height I wish I would have went with a 30 series on the front but it doesn't look bad in person. I ordered the wheels from nlmotoring.front and back have +20 offset. If you need any help let me know

Any mods needed to make them fit? I'm looking to do the same thing but in 18x11 flat black with the 315/30 18 toyo r888. Making sure I don't need spacers or low pro irs bolts to work....
