Default Done\Wheels\Susp'n Billet Spec 17x9.5/11

Billet Specialties 17x11 BS 8.25, 17x9.5 BS 7.25. Bumpstop relocated, inner fender lips rolled, BFH Mod and bumpstops relocated.
Perfect Fit no rubbing and wheels go up into the wells 1.5 inches further than the stock bumpstops would have allowed.
Penske's 7500DA Coilovers front, Koni DA with 5x11 hypercoil on adj. perches.
Ride/handling is better than WS-6 supsension with Strano Bilstien's does not bottom out on typical road bumps.
ride height is 6.625 front and rear.

So are you saying it handles great and has less ride harshness as well? What did the front setup cost you? and the rear? Is this a new setup? All that suspension travel must make it more comfortable ! Where did you relocate the rear bumpstops?

why did you go with 7.5 bs for the front? When I measured my stock front 9.5 tires my bs was 6.5 I'm ordering the same front tires as you but not sure what backspace to use. How long did it take to get them and how did you go thru.
