18x8 in the front, 18x10 in the back. Put on Toyo Proxes T1-R (the new model, i think i really like them!!! and better tread wear!) I think next time we are going with a 295 in the back instead of 275... it can handle an all around beefier tire... but we were conservative because we didn't want it to rub... the car is reeeally lowered so we thought it would be a problem.

I thought for sure you'd be spending mod money on brighter, more prominent brake lights after that last, uh, shall we call it "mishap".
Those rims look sharp!

Awesome, nice choice, and I like the Glossy black hood vs flat!
want to comment on your comment of better treadwear.
If your referring to your TOYO treadwear rating to the stock pirellis, you may be disapointed. Treadwear ratings are based on THAT manufactors basline tire. Only same brand treadwear can be compared.
But I think what youll get from the tires as milage is going to be the least of your concerns, lol.
Its kind of like Mustang owners arent so worried about getting good gas milage, didnt buy it for that reason.
Anyway Enjoy the schweet ride!, Keep turning those heads

Emilee, of course I like your wheels because I'm a little biased.
Yeah you should have no problem going with the 295's in the back next time around. I've got the Eibach Pro kit running 295's on the 19x10 rim and there's still plenty of room. Also running the 275's on the 19x9 rim in the front. I've had them for 5K miles now and have never rubbed. Oh now I see, your running the sportline kit.... YEAH, thats a little lower!!!
Your car looks great!!!

the better treadwear comment was referring to the previous model of Proxes T1-S... the T1-R appears to be an overall better tire, yet same concept. I was actually considering the Nitto R555 for a few days till i found out they would only last 15k or less! I have no idea what the pirellis even last for so i didn't factor that in to anything.
haha brighter brake lights!!! i probably would if they had such a thing!
I don't think i'll have a problem running 295 on the back even with the sportline kit, there's still a ton of room back there with the new wheels. I'm not so sure about bigger in the front, they look pretty good to me.
thanks for the comments everyone!!!
P.S- crazy guy in an F350's prelim court conference was today... he is now scheduled for a jury trial on September 14!!
