American Racing Rebel Photochop on my vert...
Hey everyone,
I finally decided on which wheels to get for my RS. Im going with American Racing Chrome Rebels. 18x9 in the front w/ 265/35-18. 18x10 in the back w/ 275/35-18. I did a quick photchop of them to see what they will look like. I think I made the wheels too big thought... They may be closer to 19"
What do ya think?

Re: American Racing Rebel Photochop on my vert...
Be careful with the Rebel on a 3rd gen. The wheel center is not thick enough to clear the spindle/dust cover. You will have to run a thick spacer or machine the face of the spindle & flatten the dust cover to get the wheel on the car.
You will probably need close to a 3/4" spacer if you do not modify the spindle or about 5/8" if you do. This is for stock brakes. These are approximate as the wheel design has changed & I've seen the center thickness change between the 2 sets of wheels that I had. Aftermarket discs space the wheels out further & will require less spacer.

Re: American Racing Rebel Photochop on my vert...
might want to reconsider those tire sizes, 275 would be better for a 9" front rim, and 19X10 295 would be best, 275 is too narrow, i run 305/30's on my 10" rim and it fits just right
