I am running the old Mallet wheels and they do not rub but they are damn close back there

18x9.5, 18x11

I do not know the offsets

Thanks! So the 335/30/18 fits on a 11 inch wheel with no issues, good to know. I thought you would need a wider wheel.

nice wheels! I think the photo may be washed out though. The car is torch red with a painted halo right? Do you have more photos that are a little darker. I like the look!

Yeah its a TR with painted halo's. My iPhone 4S camera is poop in sunlight. I don't have a ton of pics but here are two. Best thing about these wheels, they are so damn light!!! I felt a difference as soon as they were on.



With my wagon wheels:

Num Nums, it looks great! Removing BSM and swapping the wheels make a big difference I think. Nice!

Is the halo flat black or glossy?

What axleback exhaust is that? Looks good from the side.
