RowdyITR: Are you hiding your specs from everyone? I believe you are the only person with that agressive of an offset with the xd9's and noone knows what it is.
not as much of a stretch as RowdyITR's though... ironically, I ordered my set about a week or two before he posted his set for sale, which was the first time most people saw these offsets on an S2K (including myself). 
technically, he still got his before I did though.

I'll go a step above you and say, Any wheel with what ever offset with smaller than stock sized tires is lame. That said, even Flite has a 275 on a 10.5. 275 is for 9.5 or 10, I know guys in the R&C forum on 10" wheels with 305's. Normal size for a 9" wheels should be 255-275, 10" should be 275-305. I don't care how low your offsets are, if you're stretching tires, you should have 26"s and drive an Escalade. It's a sports car, more grip = more sport. Do it right!!! /rant.
I actually agree with you, although a 275 on a 10.5" rim is a VERY mild stretch. If I had ordered my rims personally, I would have gone with a 10" width. I bought them second hand though so I have to compromise a little. I thought about running a 285 next, but the profile will be too big. The only thing that keeps me sane about the stretch is that I'm definitely not running a small tire so I can make a crazy offset/width wheel work. Besides, the HRE are just my showoffy, summer months wheels. For any aggressive driving I've still got the stockers, and for track days I'll be running more moderately sized CCW classics.
Anyway, [/thread-jack]
Some of the cars in here are completely over the top.
