I want to run 17x9's all around, but I want to avoid buying new tires if possible (they only have about 3k on them). Unfortunately my current tires are 215/225 45 front/rear. Would I be better off buying new tires (245/40 all around)? I'm lowered on espilers.

Looking at tire rack, I don't see any of the deals you guys have mentioned (free center caps, etc.), do I need to call in and schmooze?

P.s. Any recommended vendors? I don't see any matte black rpf1's on gruppe-s's website... Must be out of stock?

Yeah I pm'd the guy a few days ago, no response. There was a lot of interest in that thread, so I assumed I missed it
