Default Who makes a wheel.....?

i'm looking for 18x9.5 with 5.5" backspace. I have the 20's with big tires 265/50/20, and they suck up power, so they're going the wayside. I've decided to go with a 295/45/18, should work out well, short and light. finally i'll be able to burnout. Anyone know of any chrome or powdercoated 5 spoke designs? I hate polishing my centerlines.

I know there is a set of AE 219's in that size (with 6" of BS) if you are interested.

your going to be close up front with 5.5, i'm running 6"

Billet specialties,Intro, Boyd, Weld etc..all offer 18x9,9.5,10 with custom back spacing,

Be prepared to spend some lute though. 350-500 per wheel

18x9.5 are usually not sold with the mass produced, off the shelf 20" because wheel companies don't recomend them for up front.

I ended up spending more on my 18" boyds than I'm seeing mass produced 20's for.

I don't remeber how many wheel companies I called and told me you can't run 18x9.5 up front until I bought a wheel tool and tested it myself.

On a 2"drop that is.

Centerline makes a couple of 18 x9.5sizes that are decent priced.
