I did a member search of people who listed 17x8.5 as their wheel size and found a couple profiles.
which is a good thing because thats the size wheel i plan on ordering soon.
I was hoping I could get a few pics of how your wheels fit in the fenders and what offset your running.
Also do you experience any rubbing when turning? how are they to drive on? ect. Thanks guys.

been diggin' theses lately.

i have 18x8 with a 35mm offset i think. i dropped the car approx 3 inches early in the fall and did not experiance any issues with rubbing. thats a 225/35/18 tire too.

i say issues... because the inner wheel plastics came close to the tire in the front. rears are not a problem and i did not/dont need to roll my fenders.

after comparing my car to art's, i could prolly use a spacer on the back to bring the wheels more flush, which would deff require fenders to be rolled. but for now im happy

i recently got some 18x9 wheels and am planning to run a much larger tire, like 245/35/18 in the rear, once i get those tires ill also mount them on the front & let you know how well everything fits. i dont see any issues running wheels that wide. just make sure you get tires with enough of a sidewall. im soo tired of the crap i have now.
