I will get some pics up as soon as i can...... Still not on the car, waiting on some new rear tires ( 265/40/17 )

Stock sizes are 215/40/17 and 255/40/17 but i think they will look even better with some more meat. I plan to get some 225/45/17 to replace the fronts if i end up with an ABS light


Offsets Front: +60
Rear: +56
With a +60 offset in the front on a 17x7 wheel, it would seems like they would be really tucked in (more than stock). Will you run a spacer?

OK i just did a little more searching ........... I'm gonna have to run a 5mm spacer up front........The picture above does have a spacer


Like you just stated it will sit kinda far under, There is no interference with the caliper it just looks a little funny without

Spacers ordered

I think you will need at least 10mm spacer up front. See post by Evasive: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...0&#entry8623796

Careful with too much spacer or you might need longer studs to be proper thread engagement on your lug nuts. From what I hear changing the studs is not an easy task.

Looks like you haven't even tried them on yet to see how they look. You sure
you will not have a problem running 265's in the rear? Gotta try them on soon
to make sure you have all the clearance you need.

If you get a chance, mount one of the rear tires in the front and see if you
have any rubbing issues. Might be better in looks non-staggered with these
wheels. If you do this, please post a pic.

Thanks!

when you say Non staggered you mean 17x9's all the way around???

No i haven't had a chance to test fit yet but as soon as can i will just to see how it looks......Still waiting on a response from Evasive.....

BTW thanks for that evasive post info, i might of endded up with the wrong size... order canceled for 5mm spacer

I only have a 1 inch drop and i already rolled the fender lips in the rear so they should clear.....
