I hope you plan on rolling your fenders....10" at +37, yikes. Nice looking wheels though. I doubt there's many if any sets still available now that SSR is in bankruptcy procedings.

no problem fenders already rolled.
2-3" lip is good enough for me. Comparing to what I use to have. It's a huge different.
The whole thing set me back 1700+
Now I have to decide on tires......

So hot it hurts! I wanted to get a set of SP1's since I got my FD back in 98. I ended up going with Volks because they were lighter. But man, those are sex~

Real nice
Whenever I'm on Tire Rack I can't find 10" wheels. How did you stagger the sizes? Also - did you find these by plugging in your car to the make/model search - or did you search for these directly because you knew what size you wanted?

Great wheels,
I am thinking about getting the same once and was excited when tire rack started carrying them. But then they don't have the black chrome, that is what I wanted. How do you like the black center? Does it look shiny or mat?

Thanks

Damn! I envy.....

Do you know the weight?
And, at the back, even if you roll fender, I doubt the wheels would fit, but I aint' no expert. I thought at 10" width, the offset would be around 48-50.

How much clearance do you gain by rolling the fenders. Anyone knows?

And is 1/2 inch clearance to the fender the approriate space? This is coming from the formular (wheel width +1) - back spacing gives front spacing and (wheel width +1)/2 + offset in inches gives the back spacing.

Thanks
