Thanks for the compliments guys, i think the pics are alright. Its my wife's new camera (Canon 50D) so i have ALOT to learn!
As for the wheels in the first pic, they are Sportmax Racing 006s in the sizes i listed above. I dont hate them, they look incredible, and have a very reflective lip, i just wanted wider. They are just sittin in my garage taking up space right now, since im out of town.

Car looks great! Love the look of the wide WS6 wheels!
I'm guessing that is because he has his wheels widened...they keep the same offset as factory and are sitting 2" closer to the body. With off the shelf TT2s there is likely a different offset, preventing you having to BFH and spacer.
Uh, not sure why you have to have adapters and do the bfg mod? I have 315's on off the shelf TTII's and I dont have either nor any clearance issues?
Sounds like when they widened your wheels they set the inset in too much and thus the need for the spacers to push the tire outwards?

Fronts: 17x9, 5-114.3/120
Gun Metal center, 2.5" Mirror lip
Rears: 18x9.5, 5-114.3/120
Gun Metal Center, 3.5" Mirror lip
I could be wrong, but i think they are both +35 offsets? Hope that helps.

They were done by Wheels America, (www.wheelsamerica.com) out in Texas. As for the cost, i dont remember exactly what it was. I dont have access to the receipt(Out of town), but i want to say it was roughly 200 a wheel?
Im running a 1" adapter for them to clear. I centered up the rear, and had to do the BFH mod on the inner fenders, since these tires are a good amount bigger than the DRs(pics below). I cant speak for the SS wheels, but i currently have ARPs 2.25" wheel studs in the rear, and they actually fit into the back of the wheel, so i didnt have to cut them to use the adapter.
No balancing issues at all! No vibrations, nothing!
Yup, cars still around. Im up in Turlock, so its not too far from you guys. It got a few things changed around but its still the same car. New trans, new stall, wheels, and some N2O parts so far.
You could say that. Here are some comparison pics i took when i got em:
This is the 555 unmounted next to a 555R mounted on these same wheels.
Heres the 555 Mounted compared to the 275/40 that came off the car.
Thanks man. Maybe one day, well meet up at a GTG somewhere. Was it you that came out to Turlock a while back? Dont think we met, i was hiding because my old Lightning sounded fast, but wasnt compared to alot of the cars there. LOL

Never thought about getting the gray wheels widened, probably wouldnt be a bad idea. I really like the way they look, they just werent wide enough, and you cant really beat the look of a nice, 315/35 in the rear! Besides, i had these wheels just sitting in my garage taking up space, so i figured id throw some tires on them.
Even though they are street tires, traction is SO much better now!

I've always loved the stock ws6 wheels
