I love those wheels. Do you have any rubbing? You're running 8"s front and back right?

wheels were

F: 17x8 +46
R: 17x9 +53

rocking 18mm 46 draft design spacers to avoid re drilling the bbs' 5x114.3 to 4x100
switched the faces to the front to the rears vise versa
upgraded the front lips to 1" oem bbs lips

17x8.5 front

17x9 rears

no rubbing in the front
rears were rubbing until i dremeled the plastic fenders flat.
