I went the 17/18 route a couple of years ago. I got the wheels from
Summit Racing of all places, inexpensive, yea... made in China but
they fit and checked true when spun on the car:<br clear="none">

Note the load rating is proper for the Pantera.<br clear="none">

Ah CRAP! it looks like the 18" wheel is no longer available.
Closest is this one but the backspace is about a quarter inch short
at 5.75":<br clear="none">

It has the proper load rating though.<br clear="none">

Their Hustler Chrome series might be closer with a 6.040" backspace:<br clear="none">

But ah... crap! These are just shy of the 1700 lb load rating for
rear wheels so they won't do.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I guess you'd need to be alright with the wheels sitting another
quarter inch outbound. Backspace is measure from the inside rim to
the mounting surface... so, they would sit a quarter inch more
outside the fender.<br clear="none">

When it came to tires, I bought the -same- tires the Tire Tech guy
uses, Sumitomo HTR ZIII. I got them in the following sizes and when
I can afford to change tires I will get the same ones:<br clear="none">

I sent the tire info to Eric and he blessed it. The wheels look
good on the car as does the rubber:<br clear="none">

<pre>Attention all tpr racer dudes;
Ok, I'm back on the where-am-I-gonna-find-tires horse. I checked tire rack and got nothing made in both 335/35-17 and 245/45-16. Rumor has it Mark found tires that would pass tech in those sizes. Anybody know the brand and model of those tires? JB
