My rears are 17x10 305/45/17 Mickey Thompson ET street R, fronts are 18x8 255/45R18 Nitto G2's.

305/45R17 REARS | 17x10 5-120 et42/bs7.15 | Mickey
255/45R18 FRONTS | 18x8 5-120 et15/bs5.09 | Nitto

The ride at first I noticed a little bit of bounce from the rear, but it was not excessive. I originally complained about the vibration the MT ET Street R's was causing. But, surprisingly, when my driveshaft failed, and I reinstalled the stock one, all the vibration was gone ! So, the drive shaft was probably a bad egg from the git go. As far as balancing, they do balance the same, but you want the to do a RoadForce Balance as an extra step. Just to get them the best they can be! If you read through my thread toward the end (like post #491) you will see my fronts I had to installed spacers and longer wheel studs to clear the calipers. The rears just bolted on no problems! I sales tech told me the Belmonts would require spacers and extended wheel studs for the front.

I love the fitment of the rears and the beadlocks are very easy to deal with, just a lot of passes with different the torque wrench.

Over winter, I'm going to get the polished front ring powder coated black to better match the rears!

Thanks for the feedback. I am assuming they hook a lot better and they look great.
