Haha no worries dude, the car is gonna look fantastic on the x10s. Just make sure you fit them with the offset bushings before you start modifying your fenders.

I think this is the longest I've seen you keep a daily (I'm not exactly one to talk since I'm trying to buy a Grand Cherokee to replace my current daily after less than 2 years)
Stoked to see the car on the 10s. I've always liked that spec and wanted that same set for my car when I had my s2000

Just wait until I got the 10's. 
Yeah definitely man! Already placed an order for them.
Hahaha you're talking about the TSX, right? Yeah I had that for just over 1 year. The Ram is here to stay, well, mostly because I'm making payments on it, LOL.
Thanks!

Your S looks great. I've owned a pick up pretty much all of my adult life. Can't function properly without one. Plus, they are such fuel efficient commuters for the winter months when the S is sleeping.

Well here we are. My new wheels finally arrived from Ballade, which I'm sorry to say, but their customer service isn't exactly something to write home about, but anyways my old CE's are now going to be on a local car so I'll be able to see my old wheels from time to time. Today I mounted the tires onto the wheels, balanced them and put them on the car.
Initial impression: Damn, these are wide. You might think going 0.5" wider isn't going to be a big deal but you'd be wrong. (Damnit Ricky, you were right again, LOL)
Took the car for a quick spin and noticed the only area I was rubbing was the left rear oddly. Put the car up and trimmed a little more of the bumper but I've yet to go for a second drive (it just started snowing) to confirm if the rubbing is gone. I'm not too worried as I haven't touched any camber settings and I was only at -3.2 in the rear - bumping it up to -3.5 should solve my issues IF the extra trimming doesn't help. For the fronts I will keep monitoring it and if I do end up rubbing hard on spirited drives I'll order and install some Origin offset bushings.
Pics!

Yo, this is a billion times better than the 9.5 IMO.
