18 in back 17's up front. Could have gone with stock trailing arms, but would have been close so I am adding offset trailing arms.
Offset in rear is 4.5
Email me and I will send a link to photobucket with more pics.

Hi Goovyjay, they are Billet Vinteques from these guys www.newstalgiawheel.com They are alloy replicas of the std Rallye wheel available in 18" diam. Sorry these are the only other pics I have at the moment since I've only just fitted them.

Click on the link for Tomz Wheels on the left side. They are a supporting Vendor and offering incredibly low prices, Awesome products, and the Best customer service.
I ordered the ZO6 reporduction chrome rims (18 X 9.5's). They came with the lugs, locking lug nuts, center caps, and emblems for $600
