Running 18/20s right now with a bit more meat due to our rough roads. Will go 20/22 later on though. Heidts Superride coilover up front and leafs out back.

Thats sweet! I was thinking about doin 20/22! with this c4 front end im doin right now im just worried about being to low! but i guess i could go with like 7 inch wide in the front with some offset so i dont hit the fenders when i turn lol this is my first build and im not understanding the whole suspension thing just yet lol

I believe that photo was taken by someone on here. I just googled it. Those are Detroit steel wheels Inc. kind of pricey but real cool.

adam and pam at mobsteel/detroit steel wheels are great people, we got a set of the 20s for my buddys ride. first rate stuff, recommend highly! they even modified his dog dish caps when they found out they would not take clips
