Default new wheels/tires on *pics*

Alright - they're on! I like them a lot, although they do stick out a bit. Went with the black '03 terminators, 18x9 with 26mm offset all around. I thought the wider spokes went a little better with my car than the thin FR500 spokes. Tires are ET street radials, 305/45/18, and they sure fill the wheelwell. Not sure if i should drop the front a bit to compensate now, the back is already dropped 1.50". Didn't drive it yet, hopefully they hook! here's the pics

yeah, not sureon the clearance thing. I also have my concerns on that. Unfortunately there aren't many size options for ET streets on 18" rims. Guess there's one way to find out....

Sticking 305's on 9" rims is a big mistake. Your yellow paint is going to be black from your tires rubbing in the back. You need to get the proper offset in the rear. Bad idea.
