18 inch wheels
where is everyone ordering their tires and wheels from? I am looking at CARID but they don't seem to allow for customization for offsets.

Wheel orders
It would all depend on the style of wheel you would like. I’ve spent quite a lot of time researching wheel figment. If you can tell me the style you want, I may be able to find a vendor that can give you the stance you want

I can tell you my tires are 335/30/18 in the back. I believe the fronts are 275 35 18's I don't replace them as much so I don't remember. :-)
FYI the 335/30/18 is getting hard to find. There is a Toyo Proxy, Nitto 555 drag radial, a Perelli that is stupid expensive. I think at times there are still G force rivals, but they are hard to find.

Im sure you said it in the original post but I must know...what are your wheels and tires. They look so good! I want something a little different but not too crazy and these are perfect. Still maintains a classic look but also modern. Love it 😁👍🏼

Thank you for the positive feedback!
The wheels are CCW (Complete Custom Wheel).
The tires are Michelin Pilot Sport P2's.

I'm finally have the car sitting back on the ground so now I can add it to this list. Wheels are Riddler 650.... 18x9.5 rear and 18x8 front. Even though there has been some major upgrades underneath, the wheels have had the biggest visual impact. Ride heights and alignment have not been adjusted yet but I'm liking it.

Hello,
I followed your examples and I bought American Racing in 18 inches. 285X45 tires at the rear, and 245X45 at the front. It was necessary to modify the the parking brake cable. I have to add wideners to the front, but they are not yet mounted.
Here are some photos :
