I am running Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-DRs --
I have a LOT of tread left, but then I also have maybe only 3,000-4,000 miles on them. Spent $1,142 from DiscountTireDirect.
front: 275/40ZR17 on stock 17x9 Firehawk wheels
rear: 315/35ZR17 on widened 17x10.5 Firehawk wheels with Baer's 5/8" spacers
I'm going to have some work done to reduce the size of that spacer. Traction is ok, but it could be better. I still break free with only a catback and lower compression (-2cc pistons). I'm on Strano's & Konis so my next traction mod will be LCA relcation brackets...rear: 315/35ZR17 on widened 17x10.5 Firehawk wheels with Baer's 5/8" spacers

I have the same, Good all round tire.
they aren't that bad in the rain, aired down they'll hook on the track, handle alright in the curves, I've heard between 7 to 10k miles max... I'll be lucky to get 5k miles on them.

Check Ebay, thats where I got mine for cheap. Only issue with Going the Ebay route is the tires are like 3, almost 4 years old when I received them. But they were brand new, no cracking, so that "age"on them is the tradeoff.

I have more pics but I cant get them to upload. I think I should send the fronts off to get repolished as well.
I still have to get tires and spacers as well.
Are you sure a 1" spacer/adapter is all that is needed, plus the BFH of course? My car isn't lowered but just measuring off the stock wheels and tires I dont see how I can move them out 1" without hitting the fender lip.

Ive had my wheels and tires with both 555Rs, and 555s on both of our WS6s and they cleared no problem with a 1" spacer. Ill see if i got pics of the setup on my wifes car.
I dont believe either car has rubbed the fender, unless there is alot of weight in the car, on a good bump. Rolling the lips isnt difficult, and i know someone on here will rent you a roller if you cant get it done locally just in case.

PM Xsta Z 28 with your original wheel size and make. I bet 1" is too big. Were these 9" wheels to start with?

If I'm doing my math right, and you had a 17x9 wheel with a 50mm offset, and you widened the wheel two 2", than then new offset from center is 74.7mm. A good offset for an 11" wide wheel is +45 to +56 mm according the faq. You would subtract an offset in that range from 74.7, and the remainder is the size of your required spacer/adapter.

And yes they were 9" wheels. The 02 WS6 Speedlines.

You added 1" (25.4mm) on each side of the original center line, so a 1" spacer will put you back at a 50mm offset (approx). How close are you on either side of the tire to the inner/outer fender respectively?

Actually "Current Offset" - "Desired offset" = "size of spacer/adapter".
