hehe, no, they're 215/35/18's. Much too small, but the price was good and I can burn 'em off before autoX begins

Next on the list: Coilovers. Gotta get rid of the "Wells Fargo" look...either that or put some 31x10.5's on and go rock crawling.

In his thread about the mexican lowrider truck wheels, he already saidthey were 18x8 with a +30 or +35 (he didn't know for sure). I'm thinking+35ish is about right.

it looks WAY better KAT, you did the right thing man. when you get coiloversyou'll probably need atleast a 10mm spacer in the front, to clear most.might want to look into it now, cause it sucks to install coil overs then tryand fit a wheel which won't clear.

I can't remember the brand of those wheels (I've seen them on ebay).its like a copy of the 5 zigen fighter. anyways, as soon as you lower it,the stagecoach stance will dissappear and it'll look really hot.
