probably 285/30/18's would be the widest, I am not sure. That's what I gathered from toyo's website.

well 265 doesnt really matter height wise...
thats width.

the sidewall height is only 40 which is actually 5 less than stock...
and the rims are only 1" bigger...

The middle number isn't the height measurement, it is the ratio of width/height.

Find me Volk TE37's in 18x9.5 for 1650 shipped and I'll buy them AND give you a $500 finders fee ;] The price difference is over $1000 between the TE and RPF1

The bolt pattern on the wheels are what make them special, I'm sure you guys know that having 5x100 pretty much sucks for trying to get legit wheels.

The reason these wheels are more expensive than your typical RPF1 is because 1. the bolt pattern 2. the finish. SBC is typically $100 more per wheel than silver.

We did bite the bullet and placed the purchase order a while back so they are already being made, I will keep you guys updated with the status of production.
