This setup will work with stock suspension? Please advise, so I can order mine.

Nice pic with the truck caps on the wheels sk8 You and Aron still have beautiful paint jobs. Don't track the car too often, or else your paint will get all chipped up with rubber marks all over it from all the rocks and tire rubber chunks, like mine LOL

Yup, will work beautifully. Be sure to ask the Tire Rack rep what offset he's ordering. It should be a 50-mm offset for 9.5 x 18 to fit all around with 265/35-18 tire sizes. Let us know how your order goes! Post pics!

Actually I found a local shop that can get them for me for about $35 cheaper per wheel and no shipping charges! Rishie does not respond to my messages so I'll get them on my own.

Thanks for the info though. I'll post pics when I get them.

Awwhh, dude...I see a southern Indiana run brewing. This time you lead, hotshoe! We'll make it a small gathering of FDs...you, radkins, Phil Palermo, Jim Phend, and me LOL BTW, I'd be happy to test your FD's new shoes and running gear next Friday night @ Putnam Park. I can take your car out for a few laps with you riding along shotgun and give you my "expert, but humble opinion" LOL Of course your brakes have to pass the muster. No brake fade allowed, Aron.

They look fantastic! Thanks for emailing me larger pics. I'm curious, will the rear 17x9.5 ET47 fit on the front? I'd like to see the "deep spoke" effect up front if possible.

Yes, but only with 255/40-17 tire size. Don't use 265/40- or 275/40-17...they'll rub the front fender lips (they're taller than stock!). BTW, where did you get the 47-mm offset for the SSR Comps? I wasn't aware they came as 47 mm offset, only 42 mm offset?

Wow, is that possible? I can't quite picture how it would look with that tire size in the front. I prefer to run same size all the way around and this looks interesting.
