Help!!

I am ready to purchase 4 18x7" Team Dynamic ris in white with black lettering which i'll take off at a later date.

I am choosing on the Yokohama Parada tires. Which size tire should I get to get the best speedo/odometer matching as I have with stock 16" SVT rims and tires???

Should I get a 225/40ZR18 size?????

And....is $1872 total a good price for the whole setup installed ?? (driling the holes, mounting, balancing etc..)

anyone else out there have these rims and can please give some advise!!!


99 red SVT

Not sure about the price sounds about right, but I think in the other thread somebody mentioned 225s rubbed on 18".
Also Luke said If i rember correctly 215 is about as wide as ya want to go, however sevral people use 225 so what gives?
Anyways enoughf is enoughf I also am about to take the plunge but going 17" Monzas. I want to see some pics of your ride after they are on it!

drill holes? for what?

Why drill?? If you get the 18' wheels you can go with a 225 like i did. If you do go with 18's go with 18x7 with 18x8's you will rub. Take a look [img]http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1039917&a=7677063&p=38450037[/img]

The saleperson over the phone told me he had to drill, but maybe he was thinking of a different wheel??? Antonio, is $1872 a good total for the whole setup with yokohama paradas???? Please let me know.

I paid 1700 for mine at wheelsone.com. My tires are toyo FZ4's

Your sales person is full of $h!t, TD's come already drilled. I know this, because I've been to the main warehouse to pick up several sets of wheels. Their facility is only a minutes away from where I live.

Order is placed telling TD USA what is needed as far as size, offset, bolt pattern.

TD pulls a set of BLANK wheels, because all the wheels are drilled and backspaced to spec on their own machines. The wheels are sent from England as blanks.

Wheels are then boxed and send to your local dealer.

Drilling shouldn't be an issue for the dealer, because the should've come drilled.

The pricing is about right if those are 225/40-18's, it's basically based on the tire brand, and like Antonio said, 225's are the better way to go.
