Wheels are BOSS 338'S ....Fronts are 18 x 8" and the rears are 18 by 9.5".... I wanted 10 inch for the rear but they don't make them that wide in 18 inch wheel.it has 2 inch drop spindles up front with a  tubular front end from control freak alongwith disc brakes. the rear has a 2 inch lowering blocks so it sit's fairly level front to back. I haven't driven it other than yesterday but it really hugs the road and uses a  rack and pinion for steering. thx  man!
