Wheels are 18 up front, 19s in the back. 14" (345 tire) of total rim in the back, and it needs more to fill the wheel wells out. I'll most likely space the entire suspension away from the body, instead of adding wheel spacers.

Looks good, what color is that?
And is that basecoat/clear?

It's actually a BMW blue. I think the color is called Orient Metallic Blue. I specifically asked for a dark blue in the daylight, almost black at night...and, this is what he recommended. I threw the chips up against my tuxedo black F150, and you couldn't tell it was there at night. Slightly different blue tinge to it during the day.

It's a basecoat then clear....don't remember the number of clearcoats applied.

I should add that Steve at TF was stellar at helping me get these wheels on. I was looking for a wheel that resembled the stock look, yet wanted the deep dish and larger size.

SOOO nice! :thumbsup:

The color is similar to the dark shadow metailic blue on my fox. Everyone will say my car is black, then see it in the sun and ask if i painted it blue lol.
