These are going on my red H/C/I/E ws6 ta. Tell me what you think. If anyone has these wheels please post some pics. I aslo wanted to know what the tallest tire I can run on the rear (17x11) to close the gap in the wheel well?

I think they will look good. I really like the style of the wheels also. I may try and pick up some of these for mine when I sell my wheels. Like the deep dish..

Yeah, thats a nice dish on those and a good price for all 4.
I'm about to install my black ZR1's, polished lip, but your dish is helluva alot better looking.
If you go any taller, you may run the risk of cutting the tires on the fender.
Try the heater hose mod to drop it about 1/2" in the rear if it still has the 4x4 look.

I have heard that going with a deep dish wheel, you can run into problems. My buddy told me that sometimes you may even have to shorten the rear end??

I own the wheels in question. I got them a few weeks ago. I am running a 315/35/17 in the rear. I am, lowered about 1.5 inches all around. It gives me about a 1.5 inch gap to the fender lip. I did have to roll the fender wells to keep them from rubbing. Otherwise no problems with the wheels and tires.

Ok, how big is the lip on the 9.5 compared to the 11's? I wouldn't mind having 9.5 all around. And how do you roll the fenders??
