Anyone running these rims in 17x9.5 with stoptech st40 328mm?
I´m not sure i can fit 17x10 with my ohlins on the lowest setting (-3camber)without rolling fenders like crazy.
What could the right offset with 17x9.5 be for clearing stoptech bbk?
Offset 58 would have the same inner clearence that the 17x10 have, but would it clear the stoptech bbk?

It's the tire size that will determine whether they will clear your fender or not. The extra half inch of width on a 17x10 will actually help you as it will stretch the sidewall of the tire more.

ETA is 8 weeks, can't wait to get them! Thanks for all that have contributed.
Wheels came out of machining today, decided to change up the color and go for the darker Graphite Black Gloss, like this:

Broke midcorner on Riverside/Talladega at Buttonwillow. Hot lap on warm and fresh RE71Rs. Kinda want to get that tire back too because they're fantastic!

I actually inspected these for cracks prior to my last track day (at WSIR), so unless they cracked after that single day, this was a sudden failure.

I guess the experiment is over...

Wow... that's not good. Any of the other wheels appear to have issues?

It's still in the mud out there. Once we drag it back in I'll check out the others.
