I can't tell the exact size right now because I might switch barrels, buy new lips and make reverse mount on every wheels. I'm not 100% sure they fit right now without rubbing on strut or fenders. I will test that on a lift with springs removed soon.

But to give an idea, the wheels with the teal centers don't fit on the car right now, wheels rub on the inside in the rear and against the strut in the front.

The teal wheels are supposed to be:

18''x9.5'' et22 (sandwich mount...)
18''x10.5'' et35 (front mount)

But I really doubt these are the real number... And the guy who did the silicone job before on those rims

The grey wheels are square 18''x9.5'' et32 (reverse mount), they seems to fit without any rubbing so far. But I want wider lips in the rear to run a staggered setup.
