The more I look at the pics... the more it looks like the rears are smaller than the fronts to me... I think I'm just seeing things, but have to ask to be sure?!?!?

Your tires are too narrow, and your exhaust tips are crooked. Just an FYI.

the rear gives that illusion because of the deeper lip and wider tire than the fronts.
Rears 18x12 3'' lip with a 295 tire
fronts 18x10 2'' lip with a 265 tire

I dont use center caps either. Plus longer ARP studs and hardened open ended lug nuts


CCW Classic Track - Drilled for lightness and NO center caps

Or the CCW LM20



Looks like the Classic, but

◦ Allows For Larger Lip Sizes
◦ Accommodates Big Brake Setups

Actually, it gives that illusion because the rear tires are stretched further than the fronts. The rear tires are just a little over an 1" wider than the fronts, but the rear wheels are 2" wider than the fronts. That pulls the rear sidewall out more, giving the illusion that they are more narrow than the fronts. Just an FYI. Carry on.

Love it!! Looks kick ***.
P.s I had 12" CCW's with toyo 335's and got rid of them because
they looked funny, and stuck out. I should have just put 295's back there.

[QUOTE=chassed;1579897991]Just thought I'd share, positive and negative comments welcome :-)


I am not a huge fan of the stretched look. It doesn't look bad, but I would like to see a little more meat on the rim. Would a 315 or even a 305 stick too far out from the fender?

I also noticed that you said positive and negative comments were welcome. But from your replies it doesn't seem that way. If your not ready to hear what people think then you shouldn't ask. As long as your happy that should be all that matters. Good luck.

My point was, your rear tires are too narrow for that size rim, just in case you hadn't already heard that. Oh, but wait, you have.
