^ Looks amazing dude! Can't wait to see it with the sidemarkers back in, and possibly pictures with a better quality camera.

Can anyone give me any insight on how flush 17x8 +45 fronts (235 tires) and 17x9 +54 rears (255 tires) will be? Eyeballing a set of CE28Ns right now and worried that it will look a little too sunk for what I am trying to achieve. Planning on lowering and rolling if necessary but trying to avoid pulling the fenders.

If you still have OEM fenders...that won't look too sunken in. That would look pretty good man.

I still have OEM fenders, would it be a bad idea to put 245 tires on the 17x8 and 265 on the 17x9? or would running spacers be a better idea

the fronts should be fine but I think the rears wont be as aggressive as youll want.

Plus at those sizes youll have convex faces which I personally dont think look very good. Id pass on that set and wait. Minimum sizing for a flat/slightly concave face is 17x9 +40

my old set up 17x9 +40 square

Thanks for the info man, I knew they were going to be a bit too conservative. guess I will pass those up, possibly for the SSRs you have f/s

Not true. The 9 +54 and 9.5 +47 share a face that's pretty much identical to the +40.

likes like you're right about the 9 +54 but id consider the 9.5 +47 a larger wheel due to width despite the fact that it would fit a 255 on oem rears than a 9 +40

Highly interested, but very on the fence about Ravspec...
RavSpec is one of the North East largest distributor of Work, Weds, Rays, and other high end wheels. They aren't that active here on Honda forums as much, and cater more to Subaru, Mitsubishi, Nissans, and many VIP modeled cars as someone has stated earlier. You may be more familiar with the sister company as GTSPEC. If your weary, please call Mackin to confirm the status of RavSpec's distribution rights of their products.
had a very bad buying experience with ravspec. they may be a large distributor, but that doesnt excuse the constant faults in their customer service.

they screwed up the rim sizes and had to resend the order, took 8 months to get my rims, they constantly made promises and constantly broke them, didnt answer my messages until i sent like three messages. i called and messaged them every day for a week until they returned my message. i did buy the rims from them only because they were running a special, but i will gladly pay full price next time to receive better service next time. i should never have to chase a vendor down to get the product i paid for.
