I am shopping around as I am almost ready to put mt Monte SS back on the ground but need wheels as my stockers wont fit over the brakes I installed.
My choices are Summit racing Legends that are Coys C5 knock offs but the problem is I want to run a 18x8.5-18x9.5 combo which works in this situation but the problem is back spacing. The front I can get in 18x8.5 and 4.5in back spacing but the smallest back spacing for the rear I can get in a 18x9.5 in this wheel is a 5.250. I would have to run a half inch spacer to get to 4.750 backspacing!!!! But the price is good at 578.28$ for all 4 rims...
Now the Coys C5's, While I like these rims I do not like the price. Its 900$ for all 4 rims and I cannot get the sizes I want. I will have to settle for 18x8-18x9.5 combo but I can them in 4.5in front and 5in rear backspacing I need then have to only run a 1/4in spacer which I feel a little better about over 1/2in with the Summit rims. Plus it will have a larger "lip" on the rims that looks killer.
Or I can pony up to 18x9.5 on all 4 corners with the Coys which is nice and I am still weighing options on that so that is also winning over Summit there.
Anyone able to pitch this for me and save me 400$ lol
