XXR was the only company I've seen that had 8.75 9.75 etc but when my friend mounted and balanced mine they measured more to the half side if you know what I mean.

Looks like your still on the fence about which wheels you want to get.. I might be of an assistance to you.

Ok fellas update. The wheels and tires are ordered; Forgestar CF5s and new Nitto 555s. I have a friend of a friend who could get them to me the fastest and cheapest so I pulled the trigger. Only one concern I have now, I'm just now finding out the fitment is Front: 18x9 +35 and Rear: 18x10 +42. I was wanting a staggered setup, but from the sound of that they're going to look flush (which I could still live with), and also +42 rear offset on a 285 tire sounds like it'd be rubbing the wheel well. Does anyone know if that will be a problem?

Shouldn't be a problem at all. In fact, +42 18x10 on a 285 tire should fit fine on all four corners.

That's good to hear. I'm looking forward to seeing them on the car. Also, it looks like I'm going to need some tuner style lug nuts, either 6 spline or something narrow enough to fit. I'm looking for some steel open end lug nuts, does anyone have a recommendation?
