hi everyone,
I'm looking into buying some new rims. I found this pic in a post.
Could anyone help me identify these rims? I'd also like to know the dimensions.
I really like this look, I like the wide base of the rears, looks aggressive.
Any suggestions for rims with the similar look?

thanks guys, I thought it was advertising the front lip. I didn't know that breyton made wheels lol!
So you think the rears rub? What's the threshold for the front and rears with the rims on our 5s?

jesus that looks like a tire out of a nascar garage. at that point i dont think it would be called rubbing. It is most likely more along the lines of SMASHING.

You can put on any size tire you want when it's just for advertising pics. Driving on tires that big is a different story...

With the proper offset, you could even run up to 255/30/20 fronts and 295/25/20 rears.
Btw, we missed you at the meet today
