Thanks guys, don't want to give too many details at this point because my next wheel setup is a work in progress at this point. I have the wheels and tires ready to go on the car, but I need to raise the ride height at least 1/2" to make them fit. Otherwise teh lip of the wheels hits the fenders over bumps.Unfortunately, my rear coilovers are seized, so I can't make any adjustments. Not only are the main threads seized, but the very bottom bolt is seized as well, so I can't even get the coilover off my car yet. Therefore, I have a very confined space to work with, meaning the only tools I can use are the spanner wrenches which are garbage. Been pretty stressful and aggravating to say the least. I'll let you guys know if I make any progress. Here's what I have to stare at right until I find a way to make them fit

Why Meisters? These are gorgeous and different and once he figures out the stance, will be perfection.

John, wish I was local, man...we'd figure out those coils together, bud....

**Disclaimer: My car is disgustingly filthy, don't hate. However, I welcome the hate from anyone who doesn't like lots of camber and stretched tires.**

Very nice. I've been eyeing those exact wheels in that exact color for my WDP, different sizes, but same style. I like it.

Maybe you should get silver. JK, do it...I eyeballed them for years before I finally got them. What specs were you looking at?

I was curious if the 9's with +20 would clear on the TL-S...now I know.
I was also looking at the XT7 in 18x9.5 +20 or +30 all around...but not sure how they'd sit up front.
