    I'm looking for a set of wheels & tires, and wanted to know if this style of wheel is known by a particular name:

    I'm looking for the widest stance possible on the stock suspension, and wheels of 17" or 18".

    I've read through all the stickies, and understand that 265/65/18 are the largest tires I can run with stock suspension.. what do i need to consider in a wheel for tires with those dimensions? Other than 18" in diameter, I'm still lost.

    And 4.5 backspace is key to that tire size fitting.

    Well yeah, that's the brand right?

    I mean the style of wheel.. like how it looks like a solid piece of metal that somebody took a holesaw to and drilled out some circles - as opposed to spokes like most wheels have. Hopefully that's somewhat clear lol.


    I'm looking for a set like this, in a grayish color and hopefully 18" diameter. I can't seem to find any; only polished, chrome or black.

    It's the lamborghini countach style, lol. I don't think this type of wheel has a particular name, I once wondered the same thing when looking for the ones WEDS used to make.

    ' Holesaw' style works for me. :D Feel free to make it the common term of choice. You might compile all the 'Holesaw' style wheels into a single thread, cause there are definitely more than a few

    Oh ok, so more than 4.5" of back space is fine then, correct?

    Eagle alloy series 101, but polished and black only. Factory rims are 4.5 bs. I would think 4" of bs would be better to clear upper ca.
