    Good choice, it's gonna look great!

      Do you guys have any pictures of the wheels you were/are considering? I'll be in the same boat come spring time... I know I want chrome, just not familiar with what options I have. I would like to run a 315 tire out back though. What size width would that be, 10.5 or 11?

        There's so many different rims out there but when it comes to the 10.5 and 11 widths it's narrowed down to either corvette replicas ($400-$600 a set) or a set of custom forged wheels ($2k+no limit lol)

        Fitting 315's on a 10.5 wheel is definitely doable but it also depends on the brand of the tire. Some brand run very narrow like nitto drag radials for example, where their 315 is the same width as a 295 bfg if you measured both with a ruler. I'm going with 295/35's on the 18x10.5 but they're bfg kdw street tires but they will be pretty beefy from the rear and will look wide as a 315+ tire.

        Edit: forgot to mention, google these names and you'll see some of the forged wheels it's definitely worth a look to visit either ones site: iforged, ccw, fikse,
