Re: Please post your 17x11 pics Got em mounted this afternoon. Installation was interesting. Luckilly, I have an adjustable suspension as I had to raise it up some. I need to pick up an adj panhard to get things centered better. I also removed my bumpstops. They were hitting the wheels in the raised position. I might even grind the mounts some. Since the car is weekend only, I doubt I'll run into a case where I'd need em. The tires are definitely meaty. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I got the 50mm offset and they tuck under quite nicely. I'll take some pics tomorrow. It was raining all day today. I'm almost wondering if I should have went with the 335's now. ah the greed <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

Re: Please post your 17x11 pics I too have 17x11 in the back. I was surprised at how wide the tires were when I first got them but now it looks exactly how the car should look. My car is not dropped so I havent had any problems with the bump stop grinding or anything else.
So what brand of tires did you go with? I went with Pirelli's P7000 Supesports. I like the tread pattern and right after having them install I noticed a big difference in grip.
