The wheels are great, but I would've chosen a tire to fill out the wheel well a little more. They make your car look cooler.

I believe that 18x8 Boss 338 have a 4.5 back space. Did you use spacers and or have you done other mods?

Looks great! I'm not a big fan of black wheels in general - there are few cars I see that I like with them, but yours is one. Nice choice.
