17x10 +50 should be the magic number for inboard clearance. Some people were having slight rubbing on the inside with the 949 Racing 17x10 +52 and some were not. +50 should be perfect imo.

Wouldn't 10" +50 equate to 9"+63 on the inboard side?

Didn't do the math. I was just going off other people's experience with the +52 being hit or miss with the inside rubbing. I figured +50 would be enough but maybe not since you had issues with the 17x9 +63.

Did you order a set from Modbargains? I'm curious to know what the lead time is now...

Just came back from ACS again! Rain day, new tires, oof! Got a mostly dry session in and beat my old personal best with 1.58.04 (gonna try to break into 1:57 tomorrow!)

I've only done 6 weekends or so? Just started last year, running with NASA mostly, but did the Speedventures at ACS. Might go to BW next weekend, but I'll probably be too exhausted.

Anyway, the wheels on track: they didn't break, so that's cool. Got about about a whole additional turn out of the lugnuts between sessions as the powdercoat melted out of the way. They're holding torque now though. So far so good.
