12/30/07 - I plan on ordering my wheels next week.  They will either be Budnik Fontana's or Bonspeed Huntingtons made to my custom specs.  The will have black powdercoat centers and a brushed "fat lip."   Rears will be 18x9 with a 3.75 backspace and the fronts will be 18x8 with a 4.75 backspace.

I will also be ordering my tires soon.  I plan on going with Goodyear F1s front 235/40/18 and 275/40/18 rear.  The rears should just tuck up in the quarter panels.  If I really wanted to push it, I could try 285/40/18 on a 9.5" rear wheel, but I am afraid it would be too close and rub when flexed and the wheels and tires are too expensive to gamble with!

1/16/08 - The tires are here.  They look BIG.  I did a rough mockup of 1 rear tire...it will be a tight fit, but should work!

4/8/08 - The Wheels are finally here!!!

4/10/08 - Tires mounted and rear wheels mocked up...whoa!  I nailed the backspacing, but I may need to trim a 1/4 off the rear lip.

4/15/08 - All 4 wheels mounted and black lugnuts installed.
