Nice clean looking ride. The wheels look great. I'm usually not a big fan of anything more than 17's, but the 18's look right on your car. Plus they're more of a traditional looking style. 8)
How's the clearance with the 5" backspace in the rear? I know it can get rather close with anything more than a 4.5 bs. Are you using wheel spacers?

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm real happy with the wheels, and the Michelins stick like glue.

I heard alot of conflicting opinions when it came to what bs works on our cars but I have no issues with this setup. I'm not running spacers although I have a set of 5/16" I might run up front just to push the wheels out a lil for looks sake. As far as the rear goes though I have just a hair under 1/2" between the rim/tire and the frame. However the tire just barely touches the inner fender lip with three of my buddies standing on the back bumper. Probably wont ever compress the suspension that much under normal conditions but I'm going to roll the fenders just for peace of mind.

Those wheels look perfect on your Malibu! Yeah I would roll the fender lips just in case also.
