Default Got my new wheels on! 18's
Finally got em on and these pics do them no justice whatsoever! Look soo great in person. Will be getting professional pics taken soon and will post them too.

Wheels are Boze Speedsters. 18x7 fronts and 18x8 rears. Tires are Kumho AST 225/40/18 front 235/40/18 rear.

Rear bs is 4.5 and I wish I had gone 4.75. Will need to roll the rear quarters, but I'm fine with that. I like the look.

Nice, but watch out for pot holes, they are 18" rim benders.

Looks like pbr calipers on all 4 corners, so I would say either cobra brake conversion or baers.

Baers front and rear (so yeah, PBR calipers). Kit was awesome. Went on without a hitch and I didnt need to modify anything. Worth every penny.

I have the 4 leafs on the rear.
