18" wheels off BDR Cobra, question?

Did Backdraft Racing or Vintage wheel (for BDR) make two different sizes (widths) of 18" pin drive wheels for the BDR Cobras?

My friend is considering having some custom modular wheels made for his car and selling the factory set of 18" pin-drive wheels/tires on his BDR Cobra..., and we are both wondering if there were two different (versions) width wheels that were made by Backdraft and/or made by Vintage Wheel for BDR; whatever these are. He received a few questions from another BDR owner wondering. I thought there was just one size. No clue.

Attached is a photo of his car, made in 2012 by BDR. It is the newer body style with wider front rear body quarters/fenders.

Back in 2011/12 or there about the 18x11 rear was a 6.25 backspacing. Later they went to I think 5.75 backspacing. If they are the 6.25 version I would buy them and fronts.

Thanks

okay, so there were two different version of the 18' wheel then. Thanks for confirming.

yesterday when I was at his place just for grins I measured the rears, and from the outer chrome edge of the lip of the wheel to the beginning of the spoke surface it was exactly 4.0". Seemed pretty deep. He'll have to go ahead and measure to know which ones. He might put them up for sale in a few weeks, but he wants to see wheels, tires, and all as a set. Less than 400 miles on brand new tires too. Thanks.
