Im almost 98% positive that there 23x10 all the way around however the offset is different 30mm for the front, and 44mm for rear, i love these wheels and i was looking at these (not chrome)to be my winter wheels because im on the road alot, always going to places where it snows alot. I usually run (summer) giovanna canellli 24x10 with an offset of 30mm absolutely no rub. But i am looking to do a 2/2 drop

if you have a "normal" set of Saleen wheels, then they are 23x9 front, and 23x10 rear


alot of guys run 4 23x10 though for ease of rotation...it just means your choices of rubber are limited because of the potential rubbing issue.



@whoismootoo...the different offsets is how you identify the 23x9 or 23x10 rims. the 23x9's have more offset since they are designed for 305 width rubber and need that extra space to prevent the rubbing

@WHOISMOOTOO you may not want to do a 2/2 drop cause YOU WILL have rubbing issues in the front and back when I hit a hole or anything in the freeway I get it alot and I have new KYB's with the 2/2 belltech . . . and ill check my tire size by the way this is how she looks with a 2/2 drop before I get the spindles

Its great, definately not stiff ( I was afraid it would be and my wife wouldn't like it), I'd do it again for the ride alone. It goes over the small bumps smoother and the bigger bumps feel like stock...maybe a tad bit stiffer but not much (all due to the progressive rate of the springs)
