Hey, looking for a cheap set or just a couple of WIDE rears for drag testing?

I've sent an enquiry about availability and offset, assume they are probly 35, dont know, site has other benz rims too.

Im just excited about the 18x10's! what a bargain!

depends on profile

265 on a 40 profile i think is about as big as you go on 9" rims.

a 35 profile needs 9.5" rims to fit 265's comfortably.

i would do
235/40/18 fronts 18x8 or 18x8.5
265/35/18 rear 18x10

its only .3 or .4" less stock wheel/tire diameter.

better to be slight less than more...

245/40 is slightly too high..
