What part of texas you in? Have you tried any other sizes of tires with those wheels? I want to keep my fender well gap to a minimum.
I'm down in Corpus. No I haven't tried any other tires yet. Just got these in May and had to leave town within a week. It'll be late July or August before I get to really try them out. I was a little disappointed with the gap myself and not sure if I dare go any lower. My main goal is function rather than looks tho.

Doesn't ring a bell unless your name is Johnny and lived in Portland. I had a Supra years ago and and Toyota PU with a 7MGTE in it. Used to go to A&W before they shut us down. I'll be up in Houston for some work classes in September. We'll have to try to get together. I'll have my car with me.

Tony is responsible for my setup. I got in contact with him, and he was very patient with my questions, and knew the exact sizes and offsets for every style wheel that will fit our Camaros without any issues or modifications necessary. These are the 18x9 Forgestars that he set me up with. I am very pleased with them. I run the same size all around for daily driving use and tire rotations. wrapped them in Nitto Motivo tires, and the setup has worked quite well for me.

Kept the stock wheels and tires for potential track use so I didn't wear them out just driving around town.

No problem, happy to help. Whatever your application, as in, whatever you are trying to accomplish with an aftermarket wheel setup, Tony can help you do exactly that. I read so many conflicting reports on various wheels and sizes and such in different threads, I wasn't sure of anything. I asked Tony for his help, and he knew exactly what to order for me to do what I wanted to do. I am certain he can help you too.

Matter a fact came out last night from store with a Vette next to me and made me think again about the wheel setup they have.
