Part of me still thinks about running an 18 up front and a 19 out back. You're not selling the 18's anymore and from what someone else that's running that combo told me, your 18's and 19's have slightly different designs.

What do you mean I'm not selling the 18's anymore? Here are my 18x9's .

There was a run close to the end of the year where we went from a "rolled" smooth style spoke, to a more straight edge. Technically, there wasn't a design change in the wheel though. All of our wheels are this way now. Sounds like he got a run of each style. We didnt make the change either. The manufacture did it, and it was a surprise to us when they showed up.

Sorry, I should have specified 'in silver'.

Yeah, it was the difference of rolled and straight that he had mentioned to me so yeah, he had gotten a run of each. I'll have to double check on mine as to which they are. Without seeing both side by side though I don't know if I'd be able to make that determination and, as mentioned, not available in silver with the 18's.

I'm wanting to do 18x10's in silver on all four corners and run 275/40's on my 2006. The offset for the 94-04 cars on the 18x10 silvers is +22 versus +43 on the 18x10 for the 05+ cars. That is a difference of 0.8" in offset. So if I run the 94-04 18x10 silvers on my 2006, they will sit 0.8" outboard compared to the ones with the correct offset.

Will this look bad? A 275/40 is on the narrow end of what can be run on these wheels so I feel like that will help keeping the tires away from the fender a bit. Thoughts?

Well, I can tell you that I'm running the 19's with the +35 offset and they come right up to the edge of the wheelwell on my '06. I've got 285/35-19's and anything wider (with my car lowered) would hit the lip of the well. Granted, we are talking 18's to 19's but I think I'd be nervous, especially if your car is lowered at all.

Bought mine just in time. In case anybody is wondering 295/40/18 fit fine and they look sick. Will take pictures soon. Here is a quick one of the front with the new lip.

Geo do you have a full side shot. And maybe one from the back as well? Thanks!
