They are Lowenhart X1R's, 18x11.5 rear with 265/35/18s and 18x10.5 with 255/35/18s front.
The backs are perfect but the fronts are a bit wide. I might be able to get away with the fronts if I fit 235/40/18s.
Im planing to put them on my narrow body that Im doing the twincam converion on. But they are going to stick out wy to much. Still hoping to get some wide body guards for it though. And if that happens, they will be perfect for the front, cause Ill be using the narrow body front struts and bottom arms, so I should have 25-30mm more room.

$1200 second hand. The front tyres are buggered, and the backs have wear on the inside shoulders. But the rims are in great condition :D

fuck don't worry about reducing the tyre size the rims stick out an inch past the guards already and that's a widebody. How the heck are they going to fit under the guards of a narrowbody even if you put widebody guards on it? Look good though

The narrow body bottom suspenion arms are 30mm shorter, so with the wide guards on, the wheel will sit in 30mm... prefect :)
For those who want to know the specs,
Front wheels - 18 x 10.5 +3 offset 255/35/18s
Rear wheels - 18 x 11.5 -16 offset 265/35/18s

When I went around to the guys place to try them on, the fronts sat out 3 inches! So I got the guy down from $2000. We didn't have the right nuts and it was dark so I must not have had it quite right. I thought I was going to have to get them changed around a bit.
It wasn't untill I sold the 17 inch mags that were on it that I fitted them, just to keep it rolling, and discovered they were a near perfect fit :D rofl
Ill eventually put the SHP rears on it with either front 7s or rear 8s on the front.
Or if anyone has a pair of SHP front 8s they would like to sell let me know.
