18" wheels

You all must live somewhere that doesn't have potholes! I gave up on having 50 series tires by 1990, having had to pound out bent steel rims straight again a few times.
How do you put broken cast rims back together?

Yeah right. California has the 7th worst roads in the entire country. I drive my Duster close to 10k miles a year now, have put 60k+ miles on my Challenger with 17" wheels and 275/40/17's, and I've never had a problem with the rims. How do you think new car manage?


The 18x9's on the front of my Duster are +35, but I have 13" dr. Diff rotors that add about 5mm to the track width. I also run 3mm spacers, so my "effective" offset is +27mm if you're comparing to a stock 73+ disk suspension.

The 18x10's in the rear are +38mm, but I have a 1/2" Dr. Diff spring offset, a 68-70 B body 8 3/4, and I cut a 1/2" off the quarter lip to fit the 295's.
