Liquid Metal setup?

[ChuckCT]

Okay, I think I like these. Here are the stats...hopefully some of you experts can chime in with your opinions and suggestions. Relatively cheap at around $230 each. Liquid Metal Static. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Rear: 18x9.5 +50 - tire: 265/35/18
Front: 18x8.5 +40 - tire: 235/40/18

I don't really want to roll the fenders if I don't have to...hence the 265 rear. Do you think I'll still need some rollin' with these offsets?

By the way, does anyone know anything about Liquid Metal wheels? I can't find too much info on them on the web.

i think someone in the NJ area has these on their GTO. I saw them at the Rossi Pontiac meet...i'm not 100% sure tho.

I thought about these too, not sure at this point, kinda got my mind set on the 18" black AZA Z-1s.

Thanks, jdo6696. Not sure how I missed that thread.
Any comments on the 8.5/9.5-235/265 combination, or should I just go with 8.5/245s all around to reduce fitment issues?

no problem at all. I would go staggered personally, only because I don't see much of a point in upgrading wheels and tires to have the same contact patch you did before, but that is just me. From all that I have read you are probably going to need to roll in the rear to fit with the 50 offset, the 265 will help a bit though over the 275, so maybe not. I have stiffer stock height springs in the rear and they add a bit of clearance too, so that might be an option. If you really like them get 'em and see how it works out.
