Default 4-6 weeks :[

just ordered my setup from tirerack. silver RPF1's in 18x9.5+15 front, 18x10.5+15 rear, wrapped with g-force KDW2's 255/40 front 275/35 rear. shipping, mount, balance, and TPMS sensors installed it came out to 2,553. they called and confirmed, said it would take 4-6 weeks though because the wheels are special order. guess ill spend the next month or so twiddling my thumbs.

It's not easy. You may have to seek counseling.

Are you sure those are the tire sizes you ordered? If so, you might want to switch to either 275/40 in the rear or lower the profile in the front to 255/35 or 265/35 t maintain some f/r stagger.

BTW the rear tires are 11.5 mm shorter than the front. That is the look that you are going for right?

gives you time to roll the rears

and who advised you on those tire sizes? It's going to look awful - big sidewall up front and rubber band out back

i have a base, VDC/TCS isnt a problem. im thinking about switchin to 255/35 real quick. yeah i know theyre stretched but ive heard complaining about flimsy sidewalls so i stretched em to solve that problem. can you modify the order? just placed it yesterday. wont really make a difference I just wanted a little more sidewall up front so i wouldnt smash my rims, didnt think about the rear at the time. wont really make much of a difference to me im not that **** and i have no TCS/VDC that it will mess up.

Agreed. There are many places that are much cheaper and have the wheels in stock.

no its not out of line at all. i found the tires local. mine was about 2200 total, a little better... but the wait was what i was talking about. these arent workmeisters or anything exotic, just great light wheels!
