I went with the Weld RTS 10.275 rears in 15" they have a 7.5" back space and sway bar relocation brackets.
And 15x 4.075 fronts they have a 1.5" back space. In order to run the 15" front wheel you have to run the 12.4" rotor kit M-2300-D

I'm running a 15x10 in the rear with a 275 M/T. You will want a wider wheel to get a better tire contact patch/foot print. I'm also running the RT-S 18" front runners. I personally like the look which is why i got them, although i do have Brembo's. The 17" is also a nice looking setup.

I'm running a MT 295/55/15 DR. The 17's look bad ass up front. But the price is a bit steep.

What size 18s are you using? Happen to weigh them before the tires? Weld doesnt have the weights up for 18s or larger yet. :shrug:

Order some 18"s lol, the price is a bit more. Also had to wait 4 weeks to be machined.

I'm using a 18x6 with a M/T SR 26x6 tire. I'm getting 16lbs for just the wheel.

Im in southern md. And im fine with it being super low thag was the plan regardless of wheel choice. In on h&r super skirt springs right now and the stance is pretty good hopefully the 295 will still fit under there lol
