You could use them, but they are a little heavy for 18" wheels.
TSW Nurburgrings (18x10.0) weigh around 19 lbs. Forgestar F14s (18X10.0) weigh around 21 lbs. Then run 305/45/18" Drag Radials for a good hook. Those would be a better choice in my book. |

Okay thanks, I was looking at these because they're pretty cheap. $200 for both

Yeah, they will work good, especially if on a budget!!! As mentioned, use a 305/45R18 drag radial. You might need to reposition your emergency brake cables so that they don't rub on inside lip of the wheel, but other than that, no modifications needed. Great Price!!!
