Nice wheels.. offset/sizes are pretty aggresive though. I don't see why/how you would put a 245 tire on an 11" wheel. That would be a ridiculous stretch... is it even possible? Lookin good though

Nice!!!

My mate has 235's on an 18x10" and the stretch isn't so extreme so I guess that a 245 would *just* make it on to an 11" wide rim. Probably be safer to run the same profile tyres all round.

I can't understand buying wheels that cost as much as Works and not being able to buy tires. I definitely can't understand not being able to afford tires but choosing a wheel set-up that's gonna eat up tires so fast you'll have to buy more every year.
Even when I was a kid this wouldn't make a lot of sense to me.

I guess it doesn't have to make sense to me, not my money. Nice wheels! Good luck.
