Wheels are
18x10+24 face 1
18x11+19 face 2
(Top Secret Golf of course)
Stock height makes the wheels look a little too wide for the car but they will become flush when the car lowered. (camber) Since my coilovers won't be here for awhile, I'm going the ghetto route and I'm just going to heat up a coil oneach spring to give it the right ride height for now. I'll get some more pics up tonight...

I might as well post that info as well....the tire sizes are:
255/35/18 front
265/35/18 rear
They are Bridgestone Potenza 050's we had left over from the D1 event last year. All of them had been mounted on our D1 cars but they aren't worn at all and if they had been drifted on, it would be very obvious. Anyhow, I have no complaints about these tires
The whole setup is basically the same as Ueno's D1 car used to be. Ueno has since switched to using 18x10+18 on the rears (and I may try to get a spare set similar to that)

more pics from today...
needs to be dropped!!! Mi no gusta 4x4 action. (you can see my 12 year old paint didn't survive the fender pull here)
closer look at the pull, not 100% perfect but I will touch it up when I repaint this thing.....
obligitory bum shot...
deep dish is for pizzas.....and my rear wheels
...and finally, a shot of the company car that I stole for the weekend...if you can't get girls in this pimp mobile, you're hopeless. (and no jokes about roo needing the car to get girls ) The bodykit is by www.kenstyle.co.jp and the wheels are Work LS105's I think....the Infiniti M45 is a friggin dream to drive and the experience is even better when escalade's full of hood rats try to flag you over in traffic.....but it's still no SC.

great job on the pull! Did you do it yourself? would you mind sharing the process of how you did the pull ? Did you trim the fender first?
The wheels fit nice already I'm suprised. I would think they would stick out more but once you lower it they will be perfect.
I'm following your build as well as Detuned's very closely. Aggressive wheel fitment ! I'm following in both of your footsteps and will be closer in Feb. I have JIC sides and rear coming from ChronoJ and 19x9.5 and 19x11.5 in aggressive fitments on a slow boat from Japan. Then its pull, camber and body work ! wooooo

fender pull....heat gun and fender roller. If you've never done it before, have a shop do it. (i did! hehe)
I'm actually going to mold mine slightly and touch them up when it comes time for paint....

Nice 4x4, just in time to go off roading with your brother.
