Default New Wheels and Tires (Updated Pics)

Well I went for the Retro look with these and did a lot of calculating and phone callin to make sure they would work. And I must say the pictures do not do it justice in the garage. They are Halibrand Wheels with a 30mm offset with a set of Riken Raptors 255/45/ZR18 Skins. The Ride is quiet and responsive The car has a 1 1/4 wider stance with NO clearance problems. I'll get some pictures outside when the rain subsides here in KC.

do you have any pics of them on where i can see the car? Its hard to get a sense of how they look, just by the rim itself.

I think you should have taken a full car shot directly from the side. Shots from an angle are useless for seeing how rims look.

Love the Halibrands. Almost got a set myself, but could not get a straight answer on the 30mm offset (the "correct" offset is 43mm, and those rims are impossible to find). They look fine on your car though!

Man everyone is hard to please. lol /Angle shots show off the wheel lip depth. You want side shot, you'll get a side shot when the sunshine returns.

If you can get the 30's, get them and send them to Halibrand and they will set them up and change them to 43mm. You won't need the 43's if you don't go crazy and lower your car more than 2".
