I got mine from Bulletproof, 17x8.5 +55, 225/45/17 fronts and 17x9.5 +68, 255/40/17 without rubbing with 1" drop(Eibach).

With 255's you should be at a +62 or up at least with some negative camber in order to run it safely.

do you have any side shots or a diff. angle? how do you liek the wheels? and how much did bulletproof charge you for the rims? do they still carry them?

Unfortunately, I waited three months. They have to special order it from Japan. But it is worth it. I had a set before with +49(17x8) offset in fronts and it rubbed with 225/45 rubber.

ok FpDOK, i just called tirerack n they said they only see 55's available on the computer but if he can get your part number then he might be able to pick up some higher offsets for me. The only offsets are 49 F and 55 R, what is inyour front and rear again? i called bulletproof n they are not able to get these rims anymore.

I'm glad to see that you didn't just go ahead & order the wheels at 9.5" +55. Would have been too bad to buy something that you would have issues with out of the box.

The +68 shown in the pic above is right on the money.....

Nice SP1 wheels......

Here is another example of offset on a wide wheel:
