Before you buy 18" wheels check the price of the TIRES that will go on them.

this is where i got mine in 17" seems like a good price for what i have seen and shiping is right on time actull a couple weeks early.

heres the adapter for your make sure you chack all your prices.

if you need 2" spacer 300.00 + rims 625.00 = 925.00

you may want to go 17" boyds 1140 - 1170 depending on width.
