Justin . . . The 17" wheels will fit best.

225x45's front . . . 255x40's rear

That sounds like an 98 Era 993 narrow body aftermarket fitment, it will work, but you would want/need some rear spacers. Not a big deal.

I thought my wheels were 65mm offsets already on the rear? I already installed longer studs and 1 inch spacers, the 16" phone dials sit perfect in the fender in the rear.

If you have the spacers in the rear, go with the 18's.

Justin,

>I thought my wheels were 65mm offsets already on the rear?

Yes, but only 7" wide.

If you have 1" spacers you are good to go on the 18 x 10s with 65mm offset as long as you keep the rear tire size reasonable, i.e 265/35-18.

I shouldnt have no problem with the front then right, I am raising the car up some before the wheels go on, I just ordered everything to make the front adjustable. Ron, do you not remember the rear end on my shark, everybody was looking at it and asking questions?

Justin . . . I forgot about you having the spacers on the rear. What wheels are you looking to go with?
