I doubt that you could do it because the front wheel with the 275 nitto sticks out farther than the stockers. And the nitto's and F1's were about the same width.


The wheels look much better in person and the lip looks bigger also.


I guess the next step would be to find out how much wider the Nitto 285/18s are....than the 275/17s.
B/C I think that they are just .33" wider, which I don't think would be that big of a deal.

305/35 Nitto DR's and Nitto 555 275/35 up front. I just put them on about an hour ago but with the suspension unloaded it did hit the IRS bolt. No spacers yet.


The tires or the wheels rub?

Anyone know the offset for the 18x10" wheel? Just wondering if it will fillout the wheel well more than my current AFS 10.5" wheels. The offset is 27mm with a 6.9" backspace on the AFS wheel.

Also, can someone weigh the 18x9" and 18x10" wheels? Please....PLEASE!!

Maybe a picture of the inside of the black wheel too?

Only when the rear suspension is fully unloaded does the rear IRS bolt rub the tire. Once I get it lowered that will help even more. But I am not worrying about it rubbing right now.

Car looks awsome. How do the drag radials handle in the curves ?

Just put them on yesterday so havent really found out yet. But I just had 315/17 on there on my other wheels and they werent too bad. You can tell in the turns that they are soft though. :)

Bump for more pics as they come in! Would love to see a closeup of the dish area to get a good Idea on how "mirror polished" it is, because it really doesnt look polished at all =\

This is mirror polished!

Don't get your hopes up.... I doubt it will be "mirror" polished.... It's gonna be "machine" finished.. thats it.... The closest you are going to get to mirror polished is going to be the Chrome DD's. sorry..

Very very pleased. I love them. I will love them more when my BRS Spinners get here on Wednesday. Not too bad of an endorsement considering I am getting rid of CCWs for these lol :)
