18x9 or 18x10, who does make these rims (chrome spoke type)? Running 45
series, did it lowered you stance on both ends by 4 inches?

You could go with 17x9.5 on the rears with about 7 in's of backspacing ( the
97's up will allow about 8 in's of bs). I'm running 245/45/17 on the fronts
and 275/40/17's on the rear with BFG Comps tires.
