^^^^^^ i agree first ones and no you shouldnt have any fitment issues with 7.5's, just try to stay as close as you can to the 42mm offset.

I like th 3rd but i also like the 1st. man why do decisions have to be so hard. 1st and 2nd have a +40 offset. 3rd has a +42. i didnt really like the second ones just wanted to throw in another option.

I got some white 17’s with tires for $670 shipped a while back when they had a special. But that is not a bad price for 18’s

I'm running 18x7.5" rim... with 225/40's without any problems.... And they are not as heavy as I was expecting.... They aren't much different than my friends SS/SC wheel!
