Need some wheel source recommendations
I have broken my Google search engine looking around the intrawebz and could use a few suggestions.
I am installing the VanSteel offset trailarms with coilovers.
I have been advised I can fit an 18x10 wheel with a 5.5 inch backspace and a 285/30 18 tire back there with no issues. In the front I plan on using a 17x8 with a 4 inch backspace and a 255/45 17 tire.
I need sources where I can find some wheels to look at, the usual places like Tireracks website wont show me the sizes i want.
So...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I doubt that the 10x18 with 5,5" backspace and 285 tires will fit on the back. You will hit the frame I think. Make sure that you don´t get in contact with the frame before you make you order!
Maybe this thread will help you.

It will work especially if you don't have a rear bar. I think groovyjay has something similar on his car if not the exact same size.
We are coming out with a shortened rear bar in about 3-4 weeks. Brakcets are being fabbed up now and the bars are being made. Wont work on stock TA's though. The bar will only be available in a 5/8" diameter.
Edit*Groovyjay has 20x10's
