I gotta see this setup in person. That's with a Hoosier A6 too right?

If it's really +62, you've gotta be rubbing the A-arms at full lock?


I have a 9" +47 255 setup right now. -3.0 degrees (lower ball joint), 560 lb/in front springs and Eibach on hard. Front rolled flat but not pulled. I've worn off the inside edge of the front bumper on one side. Also lightly caught and chewed a section of the fender with the edge of the tire under full oppo. So I'm at the ragged edge of what's possible on outside width without pulling, adding more camber, or using an upper ball joint. That would work out to roughly a 10" +59 setup (though there may be some slight differences in how the stretch/pinch affects the clearance for the edge of the tire. A 10" +59 would almost certainly rub on the inside a-arm.

So a 10" wheel pretty much has to have some pull on the fenders, or accept inner rubbing.

Will you be running a bbk? In curious to see if you will need to use a spacer.

Looking forward to the update since I've just pulled the trigger on the BBK but still waiting on the wheels. Still not sure if the Advans are worth the premium over the 949s.

They both are really nice wheels, I've seen both in person. I personally prefer the look of the RSII over the 6UL and both weigh about the same. 6UL has had some quality issues a while ago but it sounds like they have been figured out. Really just comes down to personal taste & budget.

The 949 17" wheels have been stout. I've seen bent lips, but no broken or cracked spokes or anything like that - not like their Gen II 15" wheels (which is what got a lot of bad press from them).

As far as the Advans - they're still a cast wheel. I'm not sure I'd pay a premium for still getting a cast wheel. No need to spout stuff about "rotary forged", flow form, etc. etc. blah blah - it's still cast. Anything beyond $1400 for a set of 17" cast wheels is a bit of a stretch - might as well start saving for some true forged wheels.

Most of the 17x10 wheels have really good BBK clearance, unless they have a huge lip or really concave.
