my 18x10's
i have had alot of people ask about the relation to my backspacing and how the 10" sits on the car.....i put together a quick page with pictures showing various angles. it was darker out so i had to really lighten and modify the pics but you get an idea for those who are wondering.
the wheels are 18x10" with 6.75 bs the inner fender required some slight fender massaging but this allows the 10's to line up great with the front wheels and keep the related proportion inside the fender with any drop.
enjoy.

now , why did u do that . I have read and know that when you use 5.5 on the rear with 9.5 inch rims it works perfect . Why didnt you just adjust that a little, what looks different from your bs to some with a 9.5 rim and 5.5 bs. I know you talk about the look , but i dont understand why you went with such a different offset than others. I guess i need to see a side by side comparison . Gimme some pics, i need to be schooled.

the pics are there, open your eyes.
the difference is this, i can drop my car to the ground with no interference. beyond that fact from normal perspective the wheels look stock which is a plus and the way it's intended. i personally don't like how the wheels stick past the fenders, they belong inside and this allows it so.
9.5 with a 5.5 is a different setup entirely......while it works i went a step further to ensure i would have no issues. this also allows me to run an even wider tire. 295/35/18 with the dr and no rub issues. again, not trying to do anything but inform for those that want to be in the know. it works and that's that.
