Hi, has anyone used the US Mags "Bandit" Wheel? I'd be looking at 18x8 and 18x9. The 9 inch wheels have a 5.25 inch back space. It looks like this will work on my car with Nitto NT 555 285 40 18's (which are on the car now), but I'm wondering if anyone has used these?
The other option is American Racing Magnum 500's, but I would have to drop down to 17's, which I would prefer not to do as I have 18 inch tires that are in great shape. The American Racing 9 inch wheels have a 5 inch back space.
If you have any thoughts on this, or experience with these wheels on your car, please chime in.
Thanks!

Not exactly the wheel type you asked about, but I have an alternative option you could consider in my 18" AFS Wheels on my 1968 Charger.
These were built for my 2003 Mach 1 mustang and have the same bolt pattern. However the backspace/offset is not right for the Charger, so I installed wheel adapter spacers (1 inch width).
I run a 18x10.5 rear wheel and 18x9 front wheel.
Tire sizes are 305-35-18 rear and 275-35-18 front.

I would love to have a set of the Magnum 500 wheels in 18", but for now these are real close.

those US Mags "Bandit" Wheel looks pretty much like a modern version of the Keystone Rogue wheel. I like them
I'm running AR 17x9 Mags with the Nittos 285/40 in the rear and 245/45 up front. They're a pretty nice rim for the money.
I ended up purchasing the Bandits. They fit perfectly. I took the car to it's first show last weekend, and I received a bunch of positive comments about them. Here's a couple photos. Let me know your thoughts.
Nice....good luck for your Charger! Always hard to predict what wheels and tires will look like without seeing them in person.
They look really sharp! I only went with a 17 to get a bit more meat on the tire.
Awesome look. Nice car!
