    BMC and HHP have a pretty good choice in rims and DR's.

    i can't confirm those EXACT ones, but i've used 18X9, 5 on 114.3, Cobra R by OE Creation with +26 offset without issue...had some 305 DR's on em and never rubbed or anything. Worked great.

    Thanks guys! I heard from a member who uses the same size wheel, offset, and bolt pattern so I think I will grab these up. The price sure seems right:)

    I run cobra replicas and they seem to be the same as the ones on your link. Erik was saying the only thing that is an issue is the hub opening. Some are smaller than others. Not sure how you'd find that out ahead of time but regardless, you can get them machined bigger if need be.

    Thanks for the heads up..... Scott (1FST4DR) told me he had to machine his, others didn't.

    Luckily, I live close to BT or will bring them over to my fathers drill press......

    Thanks for the heads up though, I think I will order these up

    Can you please check their fitment ASAP? I know a couple people, myself included, that will most likely order if you say they fit without issues.

    Dont wait on the tires :)

    Thanks.......
