I really like my 18x12 from HOUSEOFWHEELS. Some people dont because they stick out about a 1/4 of an inch. I think it's intimidating despite what others think.

Tire size = 335/30/18

Looks great! Can you take some pics from behind the car from different height angles? Thanks!

I'm not sure on the weight. I still spin 335's like i spun 295's and i'm pretty stock. (it could be THESE tires though, they're old)

The only way you can tell a difference is when the car is JUST washed (hasn't gone anywhere) and you're looking to see a difference between a front a rear wheel. I usually dont worry about it because my fronts get dusty so fast. Everyone likes them, they even look sweet on f-bodies
