Just placed an order for these in 17x9 et45 - 5x110, 65.1 bore - very excited.
15mm H&R Trak+ hubcentric spacers (for front brake clearance) I'll be the first one to do this, so hopefully it works. Most either order +30s all around (toooo much poke in the rear for me) or +30f +45r (no rotate, no deal).
+30s all around:
So I'm ordering +45 all around with the 15mm spacer in front it will give the clearance I need with the ability to rotate. I think it's a good move. This is how they should look
+30f +45r:
So now I'm on the hunt for tires - but since I also need brakes, a trans flush, new control arm bushings, trans mounts, swaybar endlinks, etc - I need to be a bit of a cheapskate.
Looking for Auto-x performance but also the ability to stand up to track-day abuse.
255/40r17 is what I'm thinking. Probably the most I would want to run on a 9" wheel.
Thinking Nitto NT-05 (591 shipped):
Orrrrrrr -the Federal 959 RS-R (529 shipped):
I wish I had the money for BFG Rivals, but that will be the next time around.
So excited though - I need more tire in my life:
Any other ideas/experience/stories/cat pictures?
