Most Customers will elect to mount a tire that is wider then what the factory recommends.  Only stock tire sizes can be guaranteed to fit, but certain over sized tires can fit without issue.  Suspension components, camber settings, ride height, and tire size all effect fitment.  Please browse online forums or contact us for fitment advice.

Certain models can run these wheels front and rear without issue.  These wheels are traditionally a high offset rear wheel, but can be used as a more aggressive front fitment.  Some vehicles may require the use of a spacer in the front to clear the strut tube, or in the rear to adjust the offset.  Lowered vehicles or wide tire setups may also require fender rolling.  It is the customer's responsibility to understand what is required for fitment.

Customer Reviews Rating:
Great Performance Wheels!
I've had these wheels for a few months now, and they are by far the best rims I've owned. What makes them so great is that they're light, look excellent, great price, and strong even for street purposes. I recommend these to anyone with a track car or even a spirited street car!
