According to my warehouse that have quit making 18'' barrels for the 225 , they are supposedly unique to the 225 wheel.

I emailed AE Wheel directly last night, & this is the response I got this morning:

"Hi there,
We still offer the 225 in both 18" and 20". However, this part has been changed from a regularly stocked item to a "custom order" item. We found this gives our customers more fitment options because you can specify what backspace you would like your wheels built to. Also, the 225 uses a 6061-spun forged outer hoop now. If your interested, please have your retailer place an order with one of our warehouses. They will turn that order over to a build sheet for our factory. the lead time is 6-8 weeks however that is more of a worst case scenario. If parts are in stock and ready to be assembled, we can usually complete orders in just a couple weeks. Hope that answers your questions!"

Thank you,

Is there any difference in price based upon backspacing? If I were purchasing a set, I'd rather have 18x8 with 5" backspacing up front & 18x10 rear with either 5.5 or 6" backspacing. Those are shown as being available options via AE's website. I do realize that there might be a wait time for something that's not readily available.

Thanks

I just talked to the warehouse and there is no price difference .
