OK, the Street Wheel and tire setup will need changes. I like the front Forgestrar F14 18X5 Drag Pack wheel with the Mickey Thompson Sportsman SR tire a lot. It drove really well on the previous RedEye. Many times I actually forgot I was on a skinny. I run the tires at 75 PSI cold. With the negative offset I bet it will look great on the Wide Body and it ended up driving better than I expected.
The Rear Drag Pack 17X10 has to go. That +30 offset is a deal breaker for the new car. I have looked into other wheels, which would force a new front wheel and I am just ordered new rear wheels.
Forgestar F14 18X11 Super Deep Concave 0mm offset Gloss Gunmetal to match the front. I went with 18's because you CAN'T get a 17" F14 in the correct wide body offset and surprisingly there are more tire choices in the 18". I can run the 305/45R18 MT ET STREET R (stretched, my first choice) or the Hoosier P325/45R18 DOT Drag Radial tire and if I wanted to chance a non DOT tire they have the new Hoosier Drag Bracket Radials that I will be running on the Light Weight Race setup in the 28/10.5 R18 and
2 new sizes coming soon 29.5/10.5 R18 and 29.5/11.5 R18, all radial slicks.

On the frost bite car were those 18' x 10" with a "0" offset? 305 by 45 I really like the fit on those and they do not stick out, but did it take a lot of work on the inside fender well?
