Time to wave by by to my last few paychecks... I was already convinced with the performance aspect of these, but was a bit unsure of how they'd look... but between this pic and the one of the bronze on BB I'm pretty much sold.
Now time to make a hard decision I guess.

Ok guys, I'd like to share some follow-up info on the wheels thus far.
Once again my setup that I'm running is:
Nickle
Front: 17x9" +63 --> 255/40-17
Rear: 17x10" +72 --> 275/40-17
------------------------------------------
Over the last week, I've covered about 300miles on these wheels. They are amazing: the width is great, the weight is great, the grip is great.... BUT the one caveat I HAVE is that the front tires rub HARD on the engine bay sheet metal under hard corning and or hard front end compression.
Ironically enough, I haven't experienced any fender or front a-arm rubbing....But man, I literally started smoking my inner front tires on the engine bay metal under hard canyon driving. Let me stress that this is not the type of driving you'd experience in day to day activities. But nonetheless, my cornering ability was greatly inhibited by this rubbing....
...SO, I decided to do what any good mechanic would do. I purchased a blow torch and took out my trusty sledge hammer!
I cut away at the inner fender liner that WASN't already melted away from tire rub, and cut away the rest. After prepping the surrounding areas, I proceeded to torch the sheet metal that was being rubbed. This allowed the metal to become more pliable. THEN, I hammered away.... Nothing on the other sider of this sheetmetal was visibly damaged or burned.
I essentially rounded out the area that was making contact with tires. I gave myself an extra 1.5-2.0" of room.... After everything was said and done, I whipped out my trusty semi-gloss black textured rust preventing spray. Funny enough, everything now looks like it could have been stock.
The good news is, I took it for a test drive right after and gave my fellow s2ki friend a heart attack with the grip

20mm spacer makes it a +52, major pulling required.
So basically no nice way to run 275s up front without major fender mods or going to a widebody fender right?

Anybody else with +63 w/255-40 in front having the same rubbing issue as jon3501447?
Also, hopefully someone with front +63 w/235-40, rear +72 w/255-40 chimes in as I'm hoping +63 w/235-40 in front is more plug&play.

For the guys who have them, hubcentic rings? Do you need them front or rear, both or neither?
Thanks
