I am ordering these now. Thank you!!!!!!
Correct, I have no spacers in the back and I'm running 275/4017 back there.

This confirms everything I needed. Thank you guys. The tires will be here today, center caps on Monday, spacers on Tuesday. I hope everything gets done. I have already polished the front ones.

One last question are you on coilovers or springs?

The rear tires got mounted today. I am very impressed with the ride quality. The steering wheel actually straightened up and did not move. Dead center. After i mounted them, the spacers arrived rather quick. I went to work. I took some pictures before and after to see what 15mm Ichiba's will do for the front. I am very happy now. Remember the question I had about the rim clearing the inside stock nut that the spacer screwed down on??? Well low and behold, I was right. The rim did not sit on the on there correctly. I had to drill the holes out on the inside of the rim so the remaining thread would allow the rim to sit flush. Wasn't a big deal, but I would have rather not have done this. So you will need something bigger than the 15mm to clear the oem nut and thread for it to correctly mount. I think a 20mm would have been better, but I didn't want any rubbing issues. So here are some pictures before the settlement. The new center caps should be here on Tuesday.

They wheels look good mark. If you ever get rid of them (or the rays for that matter) please let me be the first to know I'd like to have them back before they go to someone else.lol but something tells me you will have these for a long long time. Haha

You are so right man. I have had already several ask about the rays. I like them too, but these just top the cake, IMO.... I am trying to find any SC's with the vent visors now.

Kinda makes me want to put my TT wheels back on that I have sitting in my garage. Not chrome like yours, but the tires are still fresh. .
