Default Got my new wheels on!!!!!!!!!!!

After getting these i have to get some Qa1's and lower it :yup: Also I might upgrade to 18's up front. 17x9.5 front 18x10.5 on rear with 295's on rear. Gave the car a whole new look and stance. I was time for a new look and this will do for a while. Hope you like! :thumbup:

Dan I did just as you did and took a hammer to the inside fenderwell, lightly and nothing more. I never had any issues.
Whenever you put the car on a lift and then let it back down the rear inside wheels will rub a little just before they set (under full load)nothing more, and want even scratch the wheels.
Oh and it looks good, just wait to you lower it.

i did all the test fitting with the rear end fully lowered So no scrubbing at all. I still want a 1/4" spacer just for extra security

Very nice. Did you happen to weigh the 18s w/ tire?

For those of you who have gone to 18s and dropped the car, how much stiffer does it ride? I'm not looking for a Camry ride here, but I also wouldn't want to hate driving the car if its terrible....

They look good. Glad you like them. I sometimes miss my chrome Z06's. They are a good looking wheel.
