I'd love to see some pics when it's lowered. What was the offset on those wheels? From what I see, they fit better than I expected and better than what I've seen of some other Ruff wheel pics.

I almost ordered the 280's in the 18/19 combo but changed my mind at the last second. Instead i got the 279's in chrome wasnt real sure how the black would look with my color combo-pewter with white vert top. Those sure do look awsome

Is it hard to lower the c5's?

I was wondering the same thing....how long did it take for you to get them? They told me i might have them by saturday and i ordered them Tuesday , Im getting worried though since i havent got my shipping confirmation when he said i would have that today. These are going to look so much better then my wagon wheels.
