Looks great! It's hard to tell the wheels are different sizes?

Let us know what you think after you've had a chance to drive on this setup for awhile!

Looks pretty natural, especially on a wingless 7. The front wheel arches and fender wells are alot smaller in the front anyway...

XCHAOS, have you stuck a Stoptech template in there yet to see if their brake kit will fit? If not, how does the caliper clearance look?

They are sweet. I would love to see silver next to hyperblack to see how much of a difference there really is.

There is lots of clearance, although I haven't put the template up to it.

I think on my car, all 3 colors would look great. I just wasn't bold enough.

These are the silvers.

Its hard for me to tell much about handleing differences just yet. The car is completely different and I've only put about 50 miles on the car since the changes. Its got new bushings, wheels/tires, removed PS, etc.

Question

Did you have to roll the fenders at all? I'm thinking about getting 17x8's +43 offset 235's up front, and 17X9's +35 offset 265's in the rear. Think they'll rub at all? 5Zigen doesn't have the 9's in a +43 offset at the moment so are the 35's going to be a problem? Anyone's advice would be appreciated!!!

I actually did have to roll the fenders in the front. Rear has been fine.

5zigen doesn't have the +43s?? If they are just backordered, I would wait for them or consider another wheel like the black racing ones.

I've decided to go with the 9's +35's in the back, now my dilemma is the front. 8's +35's or +43's in the front? I want whichever will look symmetrical with the rears. Is there a reason to have the same offset all the way around? Seems like there's a difference of 13 mm from the 43s in the front and the 35s in the back. This is where I get confused. LOL

BMac,

I have SSR Integrals in 17x8's +32 offset in front and they don't rub when using 225/45 or 245/40 tires.

If you want to run 235/45's then the +43 would be obviously safer.
