Looking good ese. I've got spacers on standby if any fitment issues arise.

I test fit a stagger of 18/17 and the 18s look way better imo, they are much more aggresive

Well, I finally got them on. I think they fit really well & this is w/o spacers.

Nice job! Alot of ppl owe you for having taking the plunge into somewhat new territory. I honestly didn't think that +25 would fit up front! Kudos!

Thanks! I'ts a close fit, but it does fit fine. I would like to go lower, so I need to tweak the suspension a bit.

Nice! How do you like the Sumitomos? I hear they're a good bang for the buck.

Usually strut/spring combos have more clearance than coils...

great looking setup!

Just want to be clear, you are running 255/40/r17 all round, 9 inch +25 in the front and 9.5 +30 in the rear. Did you have to roll or pull your fenders/quarters? Have you noticed any rubbing while driving or cornering?

I hope my setup will fit this good, only time will tell.

Please add your setup to the fitment guide if you have not.

Again, great looking setup.

The sumitomos are decent tires, no complaints yet.

255/40/17 are in the rear

215/45/17 in front for now

Slight roll to the rear, I probably will roll f/r more later, as I'd like to go lower.

As for the front wheels looking off kilter, they're just turned in alittle.

Yes, a little, but not too bad. That will probably change when I go to a wider front tire.

For real. I don't care how many ppl get these wheels. They can't ever get played out to me... They are the perfect 240 wheel, IMO. They even come in better sizes and more concavity than LMGT4's while wieghing just a pound or so more...

I didn't get a chance to weigh mine. Would guess they are close to 19-20lbs.

Pics on my coupe, ignore bad fender pull, I suck.
your running 17x9 +12 all the way around with 235/45/17 with no rubbing? i know you said it before but after driving you can tell if it rubs. just making sure cause i love these wheels in that offset and making sure they fit nicely. thanks in advance!
