Stoked finally got my Wheels!
I know I've been posting about my car for a little while but it's finally time to start making changes. First and foremost is my new set of wheels! Wheels and tires have been on my list of things to do for a while now. I love my stock chrome salad shooters but after 3-4 years with em it's time to move on to bigger and better things. I know they aren't on the car yet but I figured I'd post since I'm so excited lol. Keep in mind this is the first "big purchase" I have made for the car. Stuff gets expensive fast hood wing cme and exhaust that unfortunately aren't on yet either but I'm moving forward. Look for a "mini appearance build thread" later.
Anyway on to the goodies. I purchased a set of Forgestar F14's 18x10 all around equipped with 275/35/r18 Toyo R888's. Still waiting on the lugs and center caps to come in for some reason they shipped seperately. Anyway I'll update in about a week with pics on car. I've got a feeling I have fenders to roll.
Opened up at work:
And they're home safe and sound courtesy of "The Shitty" my beloved 93 yota pickup.
I'll also update with the weights later on. Let me know what you guys think!

Fun stuff coming soon. Also, Cali smog regulations suck...period. **Insert witty quote here** LT1FTW that is all. Have a nice day.

These would be the wheels I would take second to FM5s. Nice job man, they'll look great.

Wheels @Dan they're wheels...
And thanks bud! I'm anxious to get em on. Now I need some big boy brakes to fill the gap so to speak.
Fm5's look awesome, timeless classics, but this fit my budget and the style I'm going for.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys. It's good reassurance that I made the right decision with the wheels. Should have them on the car and pics up soon. Gotta a busy week ahead but I'll make it happen. Possible fender rolling, don't think I'll need BFH mod yet. And I'll probably invest in a adj PHB since the car is lowered and need to dial in susp. And alignment

As long as the wheels have the correct offset, you shouldn't have problems with 275 section width tires. Front fenders may be tight with the steering at full-lock. Before investing in the adjustable PHB, measure to see if the body is centered side-to-side over the rear axle/wheels/tires.
