I bought the sizes you quote in chrome. The chrome pitted and corroded in 3 yrs. Michigan winters with salt on the roads. I did take care of them even in winter. Bead seats got so corroded the tires would not hold air. They are made in China.Finally had the chrome stripped and the rims powdercoated.

I would not buy them if you run in winter where salt is used.

I dont think that you need to shave or go with no profile bolt with 18" wheels, somone correct me if I am wrong

I bought mine from a local Wheel Shop in Inkster, Michigan. I am lowered 2" with 275-295/35/18's. IRS bolt not shaved and no interference.

Oem centercaps. 275/35 Nitto in front, 305/35 Nitto drag radial in rear. Kenny Brown springs with nothing done to the IRS bolt. I do have a 1/8" wheel spacer that isnt really needed.
