Yeah they are. Also have some rubber on them for a better ride. I would drop it a little and drive happy. I like them.

thank you!
they are 18x8.5 +25offset on 235/40/18 Falken Fk452's
18x10 +25offset on 355/40/18 Pirelli PZero Rosso's

the fenders need major work though. i drove it around the block and they rub like crazy in back, and will def hit on bumps in front. I need to roll and do a slight pull on all four corners.
