I like them! I know big tires must be on the way. 245 fronts & 285 rears? Big tires for the big horsepower!

Even though I'm partial to CCW's, I have to warn you. Unless that finish is clear-coated, they are a PITA to keep looking good.

I don't know if I'll be able to run 285's in the rear, I'm thinking more like a 265 in the rear. An I'm going to Plasti-dip the Faces black, I think it will really set well with the rest of the car.

If you put a 215 on a 9.5", we're done.

Yeah, I did not look at the off-sets listed above, not sure what the best tire size is best. I took the easy way out when I got my set.

Also looking at getting my centers powder-coated gunmetal. I'm not lazy, but I run out of patience quick when the whole wheel needs polishing frequently.

Just as fyi the 245 would be 10.5 mm taller than the rear. Maybe run a 245/35?

True but the stretch on to a 9.5" wide wheel would lower the overall height of the Side Wall atleast 5mm
