Yeah, sorry about that. Instead of making another reply, I edited the post. It's the same setup that KoolDawg is running.

Your car looks great with those wheels. You by chance remember the backspace and off set of the rear wheels? Only reason I ask is I just purchased the same rims that are at a 7.1 back space and 40mm offset. I would like to use the 295's in the rear, but I don't want them to come out past the fender.

That's exactly what I'm running. From the auction:
The wheels are 18x9 with a 6.2" backspace (+30mm offset) and 18x10 with a 7.1" backspace (+40mm offset).

The last photo would look killer if:

1. The entire ground surface was wet.
2. There were no other cars in the background (or blurred via depth of field).

Nice Ride.

Thanks. I agree, but didn't have any control over either.

Hey Darkfire I got the same wheels as yours. Do you know if those center caps can be switched for other ones? the R is cool and all but i'd like something a little more catchy like a ford racing logo a mustang or something else.

I'm hunting right now. Haven't come up with much so far. It appears the ones made for SN95's use standard caps, not these shallow caps like ours use.
