Wheels are 17x9 +17 all the way around.....perhaps shudda gone +25 but i'll deal with it
Tires are 245/40/17 Kumho Ecsta Mx......fits nice, not stretched, but not bubble either
i need to roll my fenders
Surprisingly, I don't rub in front when I turn the wheel lock to lock, but the only place I rub is in the rear when I hit bumps on the fender
Might have to pull them a bit

after busted bolts, locked lugnuts, and suspension install difficulties we finally get to see some work wheels.....
They look sex man, nice job.
How much cashola did you drop down on those babies?

Thanks all, they were 1450 including lugs......tires were 475,
plus 120 to mount and balance......
So basically I have beautiful suspension, wheels, and tires, and am now dead broke hahahaha....
My roommates make fun of me, but I'd rather buy a few good toys and take my time than buy alot of subpar toys!
I hope I don't have to pull too much, I wanna go about a half inch lower, and I'm fine up front (opposite of where I thought I'd have fitment issues), but in back I need to pull I think

I agree, I wanna go lower
Ohhhhhhhhh the irony,
While all of you are saying how much you like them (and I do too!), I am driving around having SEVERE rubbing problems on my rears, even with my struts cranked up to 14/16 for now to prevent this.....
I am gonna roll fenders today, but I feel like this still may not help........I am gonna have to pull em I think.....until the, I may have to raise her up.........:-(

Looks good, +25 = fail $120 to mount and balance tho, around here its $60-80
I think bronze would have gone better with the ruby color but its your ride, but they are great rims and sizes.
