Trust me.. i know my wheel sizes..def dont need any help there.. lol, I am simply trying out different offset, size, & color combinations to see how it affects the car on the track... plus I get sick of wheels fast 
.... as far as brakes are concerned, we arent looking to upgrade to anything bigger than spoon calipers, using them with race pads the car stops on a dime. I actually prefer the oem fenders flared over replacing the entire fender with aftermarket one.. thats just me.

I hear ya I get sick of wheels all the time. One week its hot the next its not.
I did notice some of that OEM fender flareage that I used to have
. Just watch your tires on hard turns the fenders tend to slice and dice chunks out of your tire edges. Easy fix for that is cut the OEM tabs out with a dremel. Same thing you do for the CF aftermarket fenders for more clearance. Did you do that? Then no tire eating by the fenders.
Car looks clean though. How long are you going to have these wheels?

the wider stance looks good imo.. the spokes concave too instead of the regular ce28 which are flat. Like i said.. its all personal preference.. its not for everybody.. and not everyone is willing to cut up their cars

chris (jsap1) i think mike knows his offsets ;-)
i know theirs very few of us on here that do.
lol.. we all have similar taste in fender mods tho.
i rolled my rears flat and pulled em out 5mm, cut rear bumper and grinded bolt down to a knub.(created a quick release setup that doesnt use a bolt on bumper(tires will hit)
then shaved the front plastic liner, remade brackets to hold the plastic up. and rolled and pulled the front fender out 5mm
:-D should be good to go just waiting for my works now.
i like the silver on the car mike.. alhough the other colors were nice i think silver just makes it look cleaner/less autox'ish

I run a 17x8 +45 with a 215/45/17 without absolutely any rubbing at all. This is with a 1.5 inch drop also. I don't even have to run crazy camber set-up either. -0.7'' in the front.
Nice choice of rims. It's good to see people not taking the advice of all of the "offset" experts on this forum.
