My guess is 17" with a 2.5" drop.

The front is a concave face so it has to be at least 9" wide, same with rear. Judging by fender fitment, and what I can see its 9" +45 up front and 9.5+38 in back. 215/45 or 235/40 up front. 245/40 in back and about -3.5 camber and a little less up front. Or could be 235/40 in back as well and a 9+45 to match, with a bit less camber, like -2.5 range. Either or. Can only tell so much from one small angle shot like that. Yeah looks good though.

Those are Federal 595 tires and they run a bit wide. You can look up the tire sizes those come in and may better depict which are being run, like if they don’t make a 235/40 size for example. That eliminates that option.

Hot damn that was detailed response lol. Ya I saw this pic and really like the way they fit and have been on the fence about either 17 or 18 with rpf1's and this might be the deciding factor on what size to go with. Thanks, any more infor is greatly appreciated.

I believe they are 18". The wheels look large and the sidewalls are very short.

If it's the guy RozayNeto, then they're 18x9 +35 / 18x10 +38. If that's the case then judging by the stretch, it looks like a 215 up front and 235 rear.

do you have to run that skinny of a tire on 18's with our cars? I want to run a square set up but the more I read 18's are just to big to run say 245 or 255 all the way around

Front 17x9 +45
Rear 17x9.5 +38

Fenders are rolled and the fronts are pulled.

He actually says he might sell his rims and go with a more aggressive set up. PM me if you are interested. I can get you in contact with him.
