Hey I got my a-tech weapons last week 17x9 +17 ordered federal ss595 235 40's but I have a fittment issue cause I also ordered circuit sport 5 lug hubs and the wheels do not fit the center portion of the hub I think that if I get 5mm spacers it will work. I'm going to call enjuku tomorrow to find out what I need to do to make it work. . Anyhow I will post some pics soon enough.

I was thinking of going with the same setup, let us know if the spacers fix the problem

If you can, I would really like to see a pic of that 9" on the front from a couple of different angles. Nice wheels, and if they are anything like the Competitions, very light. Just over 41lb's for a 17x9 with a 245/40 tire. I was surprised.

I really want to hear more about the fitment problem. I was just about to order some of the atech competition wheels today. I would hate to order them and have a fitment problem. I'm goin with 17x9 +17 in the rear and I don't think that leaves much room for a spacer. Either way I LOVE the wheels. It was a long decision to choose between those and the competition ones.

Dude I was test fitting the circuit sport hubs without the rotor installed causing my fitment issue. I felt so stupid when I called enjuku and told them that I was having fittment issues and jason was like thats not possible because he had the settup there in front of him and there was no problem, then I told him that I was test fitting the hub before installation everything on the car and he said are you trying to test fit the hub without the rotor installed? And I felt so dumb but I laughed it off, got home that night and installed everything on the car and all is well no problems. I must say that jason at enjuku now his stuff. So I'll post some pictures soon.

Also no rear pictures cause the rear subframe is not in and still waiting on rear ruca's and toe arms. And I also got three front hubs and 1 rear so I'm also waiting on that. Still have to roll the rear fenders I did buy a heat gun to do that got it for 40 bucks from the cornwell guy, he hooked me up on it.

Get them bro I've heard nothing but great things about federal tires and anyway for the price and performance you get out of them you just can't beat it. Tiresavings.com was good to me they received my order and shipped quickly I'm very happy and will order from them again.

I just ordered mine. about how long did they take to ship them out to you. I know shipping is different everywhere but id like to get an idea of how fast you got yours. Also have you mounted the rear one on yet? how do they look?

It took about 5 days i think but like i said its a good deal you know its worth waiting for. No I haven't test fitted the rear my subframe is still out I still have to wait for the other hub and the ruca's and toe arms, its so much easier to work on with the subframe out everything is right there. But I'll post some pics when I do get it all together though.
