what kinda tires fit on those?? if i have the factory 18" polished bullits.. would the tires from those fit?? 235/50ZR18
I'm assuming you would get the 18x9 in front and the 18x10 in the back, if so you would want something like 255/45-18 in the front and around 285/40-18 in the back, thats the sizes I'm running, could always go a little wider though


BTW, around where in EB do you live? I'm from there, I'll be back up there in a few weeks actually

first number is tire width, second is sidewall height, and the last one is the rim diameter

LOVE Saleen S wheels on S197s. Not sure why but they're just about perfect on our cars.

I wanted them but seemed to have prob finding the right offset, etc. The link you posted shows a 24mm offset which I don't think would be good on S197?

The first number is the width of the tire in millimeters. The second number (sidewall height) is a percent of the first number.

Can you post pics of the rears? I know I have seen it before but the only thing that is keeping me from doing it is I dont want them to stick out too far. IE far past fender.

they give the most amazing stance for our cars too...without wheel spacers lol
Thats has alot to do with the big Nitto tires he running as well as the fact that he has those adjustable coilovers that alot him to adjust +/- 3.5 inches.

As for the wheels I love the look, but hate non deep dish wheels on the S197. I'm just partial to the deep dish on our cars, it gives off such an aggressive look. I was looking at these the other day (getting bored with my bullitts), dont know about their quality, but the price is damn sure right.

Nice wheels but I don't like the offset on our cars, to each their own.
