You should read up on them...very interesting concept. I did research on them and I'm now going to be adding them to my car as soon as i can afford it.

yea you only have so much room in the fender. id say jazzer is probebly at that limmit. and why would you want to do that anyway....i pay over 300 a tire in back and thats for 295 i cant imagine what 345s would run you....make the car faster better money spent...

that would be sick, but without some modification.....not likely. It would have to be like 8.5" backspace just to sit flush with the fenders!!!!

You were saying...its more expensive to run 18x10/10.5 wheels than it is to run 18x12 wheels!!! lol

And tbird, that would make for one badass deep dish wheel!!!

Seriously...that's a dish!! I can't believe they are cheaper for a 345 LOL. That would be crazy having that much tire back there!!!

I'm perfectly content with my 18x10.5 wheels out back... especially bc no modifications were necessary, and no rubbing.
