Hey Derek,
Thanks, last summer I installed 1.5" drop coils in the front, removed the air shocks from the rear and installed KYB gas adjust shocks at all 4 corners.
The offsets are not quite right for my car. I borrowed these from a friend. He ordered them to fit a 64 Chevelle. The rears are 18x8's with I believe a 4.5" bs and the fronts are 18x7's w/a 4"bs. Tires are 245-40-18's and 235-40-18's respectively. If I was going to get some wheels for my car, I think I would go with either an 18x9 or 18x9.5 for the rear and 18x8's for the front. Not sure about tire size though.
