Dude, you\'re going to have to find a better pic than that! they could be anything!
The only thing for certain is they are probably at least 12" wide with proper offsets.

any idea where i can get a set, im after some really deep dish wheels to replace my 19\'s, im looking at going for a 17 or 18 wheel with a really stretched tyre, ideally like the ones above, does anyone know the size of the wheel and the tyre size that id need to get to get a decent stretch
 
cheers andy

You\'re gonna need wide arches to run that much dish and offset.

In that case alot of jap wheels come with lots of dish. Working out what offset you need is the difficult bit.

I cant begin to guess the size of the wheels in your pic Andy, but something with decent offset like +10 or even -10 , with 12-13inch wide wheels would acheive the look above.
Cant give advice on the size of tyre for the stretch for the tyre, if you work to a 1 or 2 sizes thinner than would you would normally run would be a good start.

Depending on what kit you have, i think 18inch will be fine......have a look at these on ebay.com
