You'll never know cause they don't come in a 4x100 in 18. If they do, please tell me where I can order but I've looked everywhere to no avail... :(

yeah the front has a smaller lip than the rear but they are 17x8's all around. I believe it was 1" in the front and 1.5" in the back. My brother owes me 1500 bucks and he is going to get me some coilovers. He is a photographer and right now he specializes in cars. So he knows a lot of people in the So cal area. He plans on trading his services for my car parts!
