As much as I want to switch up my TT's for some chrome ones, these are my winter wheels (dont have a summer set yet 
) so its probably better to save the money and keep them non-chrome. Thats my thinking.

I dont have the rolled fenders. I have the metal lip on all four corners removed. Then I flattened the metal lip smooth with the fender. I think I may run either the 285 or 275 without a doubt.
Can someone post pictures of their setup with spacers and without from the rear and sides? All the ones I have found is tooo farrrrr away.

Don't forget about the adapter spacers they are usually for 15mm+ but have extra set of studs and they make them hubcentric also.

Now that's the picture I was looking for. Thanks ALI!!!
Yeah man, I love these wheels. I have ordered some new rear tires today. Should be here on Friday from Tire Rack. Went with 275/40/17 and keeping the ones on front you had. Too much tread to just dismount and leave behind. I couldn't justify spending another 300 plus for fronts when these had so much tread left. I spent a few hours polishing these today. Man, they look great. There are a few very little spots on one, but overall I am very, very very happy with these babies. Pictures will be posted once these are mounted.
I just hope the center caps I ordered are matching chrome. I will be aggravated if they aren't. Worse case, I can rock these stock with ones for a bit, till I find a better matching set. I ain't too happy with all the little scratches on the caps, but I cant complain overall.
Glad you like the trade. I hope they look what you were after in the end and then some.
More pictures will be posted on Friday !!!! With these babies mounted. I also ordered a set of front spacers too. I can't wait!!!!

Ali, was your suspension settled when you took these pictures? I have Esplier in the front and Tanabe in the rear. I am kinda worried about the drop height now, after looking at your pictures. I might have to do something about that. LOL

Ok guys, I have a quick question. I am looking at a 10mm or a 15mm thickness. The question I have will these wheels clear using the V2 style spacer by Ichiba with the built in extended studs? I am concerned with the stock nuts hitting the back of the wheel not allowing the wheel to sit flush. Or is the V1 style with seperate extended studs the way to go? I want some clarifications before I spend the money. I want to make sure everything works and clears.
