Awesome! How much was that and where did you pick it up? I saw Chuck and Joe use one on Spike TV.

alot but it was well worth it, I have figured out wheels for 3 vehicles now that you wouldn't think would fit.

I got sick and tired of off the shelf wheel companies telling me I couldn't fit 295 up front on a 2" drop and have them clear properly, B. S.

Thats why I'm going with Intros and not making the same mistake of buying a heavy *** foriegn wheel because it's cheap, like I did before

Cool. Maybe you could do a favor for me then? When I'm ready to buy the Timeless 6's maybe you can take some measurements for me.

LOL, 26! I don't think so. I'm going to be going with 18x9.5 Boyds. I want to figure out what backspacing I want. I think the common is 5.5 but my last set of 20's was close to 6" but they stuck out just a tad to much for my liking. I'd like the outside of the tire to be flush with the fender lip.

We think alike, I'm going with 18x10 all the way around with a 6" back space, Intro said they can adjust by 1/8-1/4 if needed. I still may adjsut before I order them.

5.5 is to small and 6.25 causes the rear 18's to hit the caliper bolt, or come real close.


I had 20x9.5 Modas with 5.75 all the way around and still had room to go in.
