Default SSR TYPE C RS

For the 17 X 8 +48 and 17 X 9 +55 SSR rims.

Are the rears sunk face?

Do my fenders need to be rolled?

What other colors are available?

Any one have these rims?

Thanks,
Jet

There is also an option for the Rears: 17x9.5 +65. This will provide a tad more clearance from the fender.

Post pics when you get these, I'd like to see.

I'm thinking about going with the 17x7.5 +49and 17x9 +55 with 215/245 RE01R's. Half worried about the fronts rubbing under full compression autocrossing with stock springs and konis on the lower perch.

With the 215/45R17 they are not going to rub. They are only available in the Anthrcite finish. If you stay with the 245/40R17 or 255/40R17 rear you should be fine.
If I can help let me know.
