Default Showin' off my Rushforth's

I finally made time to take a few pics of my wheels. I've been working crazy OT at work so, I have not had any time to mess with my car. I went with 18x8, 5"bs front & 20x10, 4"bs rear. I driven myself crazy trying to pic a rim, as some of you may already know, then a little more picking a tire size. I searched pro-touring & lateral-g for pics like a madman for tire sizes & decided I liked the look of syborg-tt's tires so, I got the same rear tire size as his S-10, 295/45/20. I wanted a little wider tire on the front so I went with 245/40/18. I still have to narrow my rear end for the rear wheels to fit so, it'll be a little while before I have pics of them on the car.

I would like to say thank you to Jason Rushforth for being so patient & helpful through this whole process. I couldn't have bought rims from a better guy/company.
The product is a great example of their great quality. The place that put my tires on were amazed at how good of a wheel it was & how easily it balanced out.





& here's a sneak peek for you guys.



Thanks,

Lookin killer bud! Thanks for posting. Tires look to be a good choice for the rim widths you ordered. Can't wait to see them on the car. Thanks again for the order, and support of the brand. Keep in touch with updates on your car.

Wow! I can't wait to see the pics of the wheels mounted on the car. You know I am a big fan of 71-73 Mustangs.

Thanks Frank,
I can't wait to get them mounted but, It may be a few weeks due to project a work. I post up pics as soon as they are on the car.

Thanks again guys,
