I have 3 sets of wheels all with differentwidths and offsets. They are
275/35/18 on a 18x10 +42 offset
275/30/19. On a 19x10 +48 offset
285/35/20. On a 20x10 +54 offset

wow, i have to say it looks a lot meaner and more purposeful in black.

Chrome bays always make me think its just posing and never used!

By the way what have you done to your rear arches etc to make those wheels fit?

Ie what was base fitment on the 275s with 18s like on the +42?

You don't really have to do much, with anything over +40 it fits fine depending on your suspension it may rub. That 284 is a +54 so doubt he did much work.

your front two tires are on the wrong side. Might want to swap the two fronts so the tire tread is facing same way.

Did you really look at the tires? Im surprised I didnt put the back ones on the front. Not at all mportant to me right now, car is not ready yet and those are no longer the wheels the car will be using. That sounded bad.. Sorry, didnt want to sound like a ********. Truth is those wheels have come in and out the car like 100 times this past month. We kinda working on 2 projects and only have on lift, so We have to push the car in and out. So i threw those in, That way the F14's dont get scratched.
