Well i traded my old XXR's with the tires + $200 for these
The old tires had camber wear on both sides so i needed new ones
The wheels came with Some brand new Achilles ATR's (Which if anyone is wondering, are AMAZING for the price) so I pretty much paid for tires i was going to get anyways, and the wheels were free.

This is a horrible pic of my interior. I have 2 JP neck pads, JP Fusa, and an NRG wheel, quick release and slim hub. oh yeah and a Rockford Fosgate 12 in the trunk.
And a couple more shots of the exterior

How do the wheels sit in comparison to the body line of the car? Do the wheels stick out ay from the body of the car and where the wheel well area is?
Here is a picture for reference in regards to what I'm referring to. This was with a 17x8 in wheel with a +25 offset.

I was curious about your specs because I plan to go 9.5" wide, but have been undecided with the offset to chose. I'm undecided atm because even though the current setup creates a wider stance for greater stability, IF I were to go lower with the offset as you have to compensate for the additional width, I'm uncertain if the change in the scrub radius would offset the additional stance by more than what its worth. I only have one shot at getting this right before ordering the new wheels. And atm I'm still considering keeping the same offset.

I'm completely lost as to how a wider rim with a lower offset would sit flush with the fenders compared to my wheel specs. Per calculations, yours should stick out more.

Love it, I've been toying with the idea of getting an NRG wheel for quite a while, do you have the quick release, or just the regular hub?

damn that wheel is sexy. how much did the hub and the wheel cost you and whered you pick it up from. was thinking of doin one of those but i dont like the idea of losing an air bag. lol what if you need it. seems kinda weird that the passenger would have one but not the dude driving the car haha..scared me a little
