Default 18x12.5" rims

I'm looking for a pair of 18x12.5" rims to run the 345/30 BFG DR, but i can't find anyone who makes what i'm looking for. Does anyone have rims this size?

TIA :flag

CCW is probably your best bet/..... fast turn around. To run that big of a rim you will have to do a minitub....

:iagree:

May even want to stay to a 12 inch rim, as even the 12.5's might rub-unless you go with a bigger tub...

Go with an 18x12 inch rim. 335's & 345's will work fine on a 12in wheel. Several forum members have had problems with a 12 1/2in wheel. Mine are 18x12. LPE tried 18x12 1/2 and they did not work on my car with there mini-tubs.

Bill :cheers:
