Only bringing this up because mine just arrived without the rings.
I'll check them out on the car but it's a shame we constantly get conflicting information.

They will go on the car no problem, just get the rings and install them
CORRECTLY.

The wheel will not center up right. You need the 70.3X78 MM rings.

Yeah, I get it. Thanks.
I'm just annoyed that I told both the dealer and the company I need them and they both gave me the wrong info.
Hard to understand how incompetent people can be.

Correct,

The Forgestar Drag do required hub rings on all of the wheels.
78-70.3 is included with every order.

The rear we have options of F14 Model - 18x11 | 18x12 | 18x13

I think the 18x12 would be a very nice choice.

To me look like 315s...315s will stretch hard on 12" rim and almost impossible to inflate...found that out last week
