They come in Monday, been tracking them, so I went ahead and setup an appoinment Monday morning to have my alignment done before I put the wheels on. I can't wait!

Just get a high offset like 48mm or higher and you'll be in the clear... you'll even be able to slam it ... dont use comptech get eibac (sp)

Are you nuts? If you get 18's you'll throw off the calibration of your speedometer. You're have a noisy, harsh ride. Not to mention HEAVY wheels that will ruin you 1/4 mile. You're crazy man!



















the above is all false.

I have 18” Wheels with Comptech springs and ZERO problems.
Just be sure to check the RIM width and offset.
Mine are 7.5” wide and have an offset of +48.
A wider wheel or lower offset could give you problems.

Post the specs on the RIMS you're getting and see if anyone jumps in that may have them.

the reason i said to get 48mm or higher is if he uses springs with a lower ride hieght than comp. he still wont have a any rubbing.....

I guess I'm just in to the squatted, stuck to ground; can turns a 1000mph look
