Thanks, it is a lot of fun!

Rear wheels are 20x10 and tires are 275/40R20 (and the 11.125" isn't tread width, it's section width)
Front wheels are 18x7 and tires are 225/45R18

Sidewall height works out to be pretty close with this arrangement, with the rear sidewalls being slightly taller. One of my motivations for doing the 20's in the rear over 18's was more clearance with the brakes for the ability to get the wheel off the axle, considering how low the wheel opening in the quarter panels is. I may still have to unbolt a coilover to get a tire off to change it, time will tell.
