Just got a set. 11's - the idea has been thrown out 285's will work with proper susp tweaking. I have 275 35 20 on mine and they look great with sportlines. Problem is the offset for the 10" rear is 36-37mm which puts them out far. Will post pics when I get a chance.

Got mine in today. Man they look great.

The interesting thing is the center caps that I paid $125.00 for looks like something I could buy at Autozone for 15 or 20 bucks? Oh well, the wheels were worth the wait.

Now, what tires......

With the way you styled the car...those wheels were really the natural progression.

Car looks great!
