The tire will hit the frame (outside of square shaped top shock mount) before the wheel hits the spring. The wheel will hit the the control arm (2nd pic, on the oval shaped marking) close to the frame mount at moderate-full suspension droop and a sharp steering angle.

I ordered mine on June 26th with a quoted lead time of 8-10 weeks and just received them today. I've only opened one but the quality looks great, and they are pretty light for a 17x10 wheel at only 19lbs each. Can't wait to get them on the car!

Mounted some 255 NT01's to my new wheels and took the car to the track this weekend. These are the same 17x10 +55 size that op (thepoi) went with. Fitment was no problem as I already had fenders rolled with a slight flare up front. Also relocated rear fender tabs which takes all of 10 minutes. I had no rubbing issues whatsoever at the track, and VIR is very hilly. I have -3 degrees of camber up front, and as you can see I'm not super low. I actually haven't noticed the wheels rubbing against anything when turning the steering wheel either, so I'm not sure if steering limiters are really necessary.

The wheels also came with center caps and hub-centering rings. I used the rings, but not the caps.

I'm very happy with the purchase and I think they look great. Jurrian at Mod Bargains was also super communicative throughout the whole buying process.

Previous wheels were Volk RE30's 17x7.5 up front and 17x9 in the back. I noticed a huge difference because I have much more tire up front now. Braking and turn in are HUGELY improved. I'm still not even used to it after a whole weekend of tracking with this setup. I also don't have to use wheel spacers with these since they fit my stoptech BBK.

Mine rub my 3in ducts (I've been meaning to install limiters but I've just been really lazy). However, I've had a couple full lock incidents in both directions (at speed) and the ducts weren't crushed, just smooshed. I'd think 2" ducts or so would probably be ok?
