A couple questions...

Are the front rims matching? If so, who makes them and what backspacing are they?

The pictures look stretched horizontally and the rears look wider than they really are? Yes, no? Otherwise, if that is a normal picture, those rear tires ROCK! Looks like plenty of meat for sure.

Do you get any tire rubbing?

(Ok, more than just a couple questions!)

Good questions I cannot answer right now. I can tell you the pics aren't stretched. They stick out about 1 1/2" - 2". He has the matching front wheels, the tires wont be quite as big. They are American Racing wheels. I'll try and get some more info for ya. All that money on rims and tires, so he can break into the 12's...LOL

The rubber looks good :up:...... but I still like the original MM wheels :D .
 
Sory, but I do not like the wheels sticking so far out from the fender. Far as I go is even with the side of the fender. Not my choice of rims either.

IMHO I deam it ugly. Sorry. :(

Don't be sorry, everyone has different tastes. I personally don't like how far they stick out either. I would have gotten a different off-set. When he pulls away, I swear it looks like the car is tubbed.
The pics don't do the wheels any justice.
 
I like the way it looks and all that tire on the back..:up:

I do like the concept - the offset is just leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Reminds me of the hispanics and their tiny rims that stick out 5 feet :D

Do you happen to know if the over all height of the tires changed or if the chip needed to be retuned to accomidate the difference.

When you get tired of burning through OEM tires and need to send your rims to Lidio for widening....then get them back and slap a set of Nitto's on 'em....you'll see that trying to fit a set of those in the wheel wells has to move the tire out just a bit :) Its just a bigger ass tire! I'm also running a set of 1/4 spacers just to be safe...so mine stick out a bit more.

I don't mind the look... to each his own!

:D
 
That's a great looking combo.

Those wheels remind me of the wheels that were on one of the early Marauder concept cars.
 
What's the size of the wheels? 18x10s? Or are they wider?


I like the tires, I'm not to keen on the style of the wheels though. Looks like a good size at least, and I like the offset where it is.

I like the style of wheel, and the choice of tires, the width is awesome. I would prefer that they had more backspacing to keep them inside the fenderwells.
 
I love the look of all that meat out back. Ditto what others have said about offset, though. Just a wee bit much sticking out of the wells. Damn fine looking wheels, though.
 
Looks pretty good...wheels are a lot like production wheels...I do love the fat look...dude, how's about blacking those tires, K...willie
