Default Hoping you pepes can help me find 11" Saleen replicas

Well, usually hang out on the Saleen side of the tracks, but hoping I can dip into a little SVT knowledge base here.

Does anyone here know of Saleen replica wheels I can find in 18"x11"chrome? I would LOVE to squeeze a set of 315's under the rear. I know they will fit, but will be snug as I have my suspension set-up.

Thanks for any and all help

Im almost positive you can get 18x10.5s in that rim style.... 315s will fit on them just fine

Thanks [8D]

I have found 10.5"s and I am going to go with them if I cannot find 11"s. I already have 1/2" spacers and extra-heavy studs installed with my 10"s so that would mean 11"s would be purrrrrrrrfect

I will keep looking.

I can squeeze 315's on 10" rims but will look like a 300 LB woman in a 1/2 shirt and tights [:'(]

I have done some checking around and best I can find is 10.5" but getting a good price, so I will make my decision today. The chrome is nicer than Saleen (sorry, Steve) and nice and shiney all the way back through rim.

Thanks for help

Will post some pics when get all hooked up. My current 295's are gonna look a little undersized on them, but my love of backroads will tear them up soon enough and pick up some 315's probably late next year or early Spring of '09.

Only Nitto DRs, at least that's the only one I've ever seen do it. And they do bulge on the 9s, but I'd expect on 10s they'd fit just fine. I'm putting some 555r's on the back of my Cobra and I wish they made a 285 or 295 becuase the 315 would look ugly, but I can get more than the 555r 275. I still don't know why the 555r's are thinner like that.
