New Z wheels

rebe945 · 06-26-2011, 11:19 AM

I have the stock 18x8 and 18x9's. Im looking at HD's Autobahns 2 tone but they come in only the 18x8 size for both front and rear. How will that affect looks and performance?Thanks

Don't do it. They will look like crap with the offsets, not to mention the narrow rear's.

Yup, you want to go at least the same width as your current setup. i would recommend that you go 9" and 10" width F and R, and since you're upgrading wheels, might as well go +1 sizing to 19"...which is the same as the sport Rays wheels.

Why spend the money on cheap wheels anyways? The stock 18's are made by enkei, which are way nicer than those you spec'd out OP.
