Default They fit!!! (wheels)

Haha, I've been stressing over my damned wheels, and the fact that I put 235/45/17 tires on them, when clearances were looking tight with 225/45/17's... I am not putting the wheels on until I get my coilovers, and an allignment... but, the suspense was killing me, so I went and threw the wheel on for a second, and dropped it down, just to make sure I wasn't going to be rubbing that control arm in the rear. *phew*

It needs a drop sooo badly... but you can tell that it's gonna look mean with these wide tires, and the offset sticking the rear wheels out. MMM!
EDIT: haha, you can see the scale in the garage... My new wheels/tires are 5 lbs heavier than the old 16's 44ish lbs a wheel/tire, compared to about 39 for the old 16's.

haha thanks man, I am just Ultra stoked that these things fit... I blew a lot of $ on these tires, and had a nagging suspicion that they weren't going to fit. The lip is now high polished eh!? BLING BLING! haha, it's not that bling though, with the silver spokes...

On a side note, I need iForged centercaps... and they are 25USD a piece... + 15US to ship them to me. Bastards! Will have to live with the HRE caps for a while...

You have no idea how badly I need to get this thing lowered, and put these wheels on... I'm ULTRA impatient.

Define better pics? "better" ?? I mean, specific angles? bigger pictures? Higher res? ... ? I'd be happy to take some others if you are specific. I have an entire thread devoted to these wheels... just do a search for threads started by headshok2002, and use the search word "wheels"

It's prolly on page 2 or 3, its fairly recent.

I think he was referring to angle.. I would like to see a pic from the direct side (looking directly at rim).. if that makes sense..
