[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 967629, member: 61136"] Big K, My rims are the Enkei RT-6. Size is 18x8.5 with 0 offset. 5 on 4.5 pattern. I bought them used from one of our members for $600 with different tires. At that time they were over $200 per rim/new. The bfg tires were about $120 new. Tires had about 3/4 tread left. So I got good deal. His Dad is a trucker and deliverd them to me. Now the price has droped to around $130 each at discount wheel places. Why do you say they wont work on yours.? They fit perfect with the fenders and no problems with the 265/60-18 cooper tires. With the 0 offset the extra 1.5"=(38.1mm) rim width minus the OEM (12mm) is 26.1mm=(1.02") to the out side. So no need for spacers. The wheels widened the stance 1" per side. So that is 2" wider stance over all. I like the Idea of 18" over 20" wheel. Still have enough rim to ground rubber to get a decent ride. The 265/60-18 tires are only .3" taller than OEM. Im old school. I wont go with 20" rims. Unless There is enough room for more tire than, OEM diameter. Need some cushion for pot holes. [/QUOTE]
