Love those wheels! Have had them on my watch list on ebay for a while. Went with something different but kept them there just in case! Pics on the car?

So you went for some wheels instead of a swap Spencer? Either way those wheels are gonna look sick when mounted. Whats the specs? You're probably going to have to roll your fenders arent you?

yeah prolly gonna have to do some rollin of the fenders. they're 17x9.5 +25 all the way around hahah.

and they will be re finished white. as far as mounting goes, i did a test with the ones that have tires on them. there is work needed before i mount them. as in the delivery of coils, and trials of different tire set ups.

as far as swap. its coming soon. very soon.

well i with a little sun today i decided to do a real test fit. great news is, clearance. front and rear, and my turning radius is great. now we'll see how that stays when i slam it more.

but i decided to snap a couple pics. you guys can now see why im not rockin them until i can get lower. i snapped some DSLR shots but they will be on later
and you can see the one in the rear is the one that came with some rash

haha you guys gotta realize. im never going to haha

mike, the tires are stretched because if i were to run a tire without stretch it would be about a 265. and that would never clear my suspension, not to mention it would be sitting wider than my fenders do. they have to be stretched to tuck them under the fenders on a wheel with this width and offset

they look great, frankly I don't think they look that bad with the height you're at now. Of course going lower will look boss, but I'm loving them on the car now

I think if you are going this route, you should go for a full panda effect. black trunk and CF hood.
