Hey, Fly Boi!

Dude, excellent choice!

You are going to love those wheels and Michelin shoes on your ride. It's the best set of tires I have ever had on my buggy.

Due to our mild winters lately, I still have a set of Conti DWS on a second set that I used this past winter as my winter setup on 18-inch Style 269 reps with OEM specs (225/255), and that gave me the idea to get the Michelins at the same spec to avoid rubbing because my previous Hankooks at 235/265 occasionally rubbed in the back on large dips and sweepers:



Post pics and if you really want it more aggressive, 5mm spacers in front and 8mm spacers in back would be more than sufficient to give you that stance! Personally, I would be happy just the way it is, but you always have that flexibility with those offsets!

We should get together at a meet or event so you could show off your shoes and take a look at mine. Gunmetal is sooooo good when you are feeling lazy and don't want to wash the rims.... hahaha.

Cheers!

Hoser out

Unfortunately, they didn't have the front VMR VB3 CSL in stock but I will probably go with the Velocity Motoring V710 Wheels in Gunmetal instead!!!

Using these specs:

WHEELS (Velocity Motoring V710 Gunmetal):

FRONT - 18 x 8.5 ET35
REAR - 18 x 9.5 ET33

TIRES (Michelin PSS - Already purchased):

FRONT - 225/40ZR18
REAR - 255/35ZR18

I attached a pic of the wheels...
