Thanks for the great comments all.

They are a 47mm Front & a 43mm Rear offset. It truly lines up with the FD perfectly.

I will be running 255/35/18 Fronts & 285/30/18 rears. I'm testing out the Hankook Evo12's, so we'll see how they fair.

SHOULD have them on this week. Tires haven't shipped yet but should tomorrow. I will be posting pics the day they come in. I am completely stoked!!!!!

Nice. Great sizes/offsets for the FD. I may try out that 285/30 next time, but the 275/35 works well w/ the 255/35 too.

Post pics on the car!

As promised!!

I realize my camber and ride height is a bit off. And don't mind the rusty axle nuts...LOL.. This is the start of my suspension. Greddy Type-S Coilovers, all new bushings & sway bars are on the way. That should definitely get things on par.

Ultimately, I am VERY happy with these wheels. They are perfect match for my car with the MB. I want to thank Nick again for hooking me up!! Props brother!!

I will also add that these widths and offsets clear the factory size springs & trailing arms perfectly. And you don't realize how wide the rears really are until you look under the rear of the car. A lot of the tire is hidden.... Gotta love those deep fender well's.

I'll be ordering these wheels soon from Work. Based on your pictures, i thought i was going to be able to use my current Nitto 235's up front and 275's rear, do you think these tires will be wide enough for 17" x 9" front and 17" x 10" rear wheels? I don't want the wheel edge sticking out of the tires! (stretched look) It looks like you can still go with a bit wider tires right?

Don't tell me i have to order new tires then! ugh!

PS: love the look of your car with these wheels!

Will they fit? Yes. Will they be slightly stretched. My guess is the front will, more than the rear. However, if you have the tires, I say go for it. If ya don't like them, you can change them later. I don't think they will look that stretched though.

Now i'm not sure if i should lower the wheel sizes by 0.5" so i can order:

17" x 8.5" front
17" x 9.5" rear

ugh!

Eh... I wouldn't go smaller based on the tires you have... I think the 9-10 combo is perfect. Not to mention more traction.
