you need 18x9s 18x9.5s or 17x9s with low offsets to go under these arches and look good . they just eat any smaller wheels

I have fitted 18x10 with 265 35 18, i think 285 35 18 would just fit
Can't wait to see how it handles on the hills with slicks on.

Would it be possible to have another version of these arches but say and inch or so narrower, would make getting wheels that fill them a little bit easier
