No real fitment problems but I am running 571lb springs and large front swaybar as well as -2.3 camber. Tiny bit of rubbing on the front at the track in a couple of turns but nothing major. No rubbing on the street at all.

UPDATE:


The Stoptech 228 BBK will fit under 17x9 et 63 TSW Nurgurbring!





at least according to the initial measurements I took with the Stoptech template last night.




I don't know of any other 17x9 et 63 wheel that will fit a Stoptech BBK without spacers.

Mine definitely do not weigh 18lbs. I have other 18lb wheels and these are significantly lighter. No I don't have any proof.

Hmm.... I weighed mine on a nice digital scale (with brand new NT01). I got 44.4 lbs. I called Nitto and they told me that NT01 in a 255/40 weigh 26lbs.




I have a set of much lighter forged wheels with NT01 (same size but used) and they are clearly lighter. When I weighed them they weighed 41 lbs. The wheels weigh 15.5lbs.

Can you weigh a wheel (on an accurate scale) before tires are mounted? Claimed weights are all over the place (some people claim ~17, I got about ~18, TSW claims 19).
