Front should be fine, rear might need a spacer unless I plan on going wtih a wider tire. Haven't decided if I should go with more stance and less tire or more tire and less aggressive stance.

Yep they managed to mount one of the fronts with a 225 and one with a 255... Then he didn't understand why the 225 didn't fit on a 9.5 rear (which frankly if they knew what they were doing they could have made it fit, but anyway I'm glad he couldn't cause they wouldn't have caught this)
Anyway, the wheels on there looked fantastic (imo), didn't think to snap a picture but I will have pics up tomorrow.

Trust me, I'm never going back, but I couldn't move the car how it was.
Honestly I'm new to having work done in Nashville, so I'm still figuring out who to take the car to. I'll have new suspension coming soon, and I need to find someone I really trust to do the install cause on my last car I had problems with the suspension install and I don't need that.

These are cast. NUE's are offered in 17, 18, and 19 cast in 8.5 and 9.5 (I think only 18 goes to 9.5).
They are however offered in a forged option, which if you have the cash for it you can get any size and width and offset you want.
The cast ones weigh 26 pounds which really isn't too bad.
And yes, time to lower her. So badly needs it, just need to sell one last set of wheels and I'll be going H&R coils
