Thanks for the comments!

Specs... Let me see if I can remember this correctly. The wheels are Boss 338 18" all the way around. 18x8 in the front with 18x9.5 rear with 5 1/4" BS.
The tires I went with are the new BFG T/A KDW. The fronts are 245-40 ZR18 and the rears are 285-40-ZR18.

I could have went with a larger diam. wheel but I decided to jump on the group discount for these. I am happy with them just need to finish up the front end (need a small spacer to allow the wheel cap to fit).

Wow... I am not sure off the top of my head. If you search for Boss 338 group buy I think it still has the dimensional information posted.
Next time I'm the garage I will measure it for you. The only bad thing with these rims are the hub design. They do not fit over the stock rotor unless you machine down the journal to fit them. It's a pain but I know someone that owns a machine shop and they machined mine for free.
