I have Privat Profils, fitment was fine and haven't had any issues. 17x9.5 with 275/40's. Crappy pics don't really do it justice and yes it needs to be dropped,lol.

Was it a tight fit to get on or just slip right on?

Went on without a problem, I just wish the rears were wider. If I stick with them long term I may look into widening them and having the centers powder coated gunmetal. You'll hear a lot of opposing thoughts on whether it's safe to run them or not. Were they made for our cars- no, will they fit- yes. I won't get into that but given that our choices are either high-end customs or the same thing everyone else has I'll go with them!

i had some Sport max 006s on my car that were 5 x 120s. 17x9 fronts, 18x9.5s rear. They fit fine, slid right on the studs. They just werent wide enough for me.

IIRC some people have had issues where the lugs loosened which isn't good but I regularly check mine anyhow.

.65mm is not a large amount to cause an issue. Wheels have enough clearance built in that they work fine. I ran BMW 5x120 wheels for a year without any issues.

This guy at a local goodyear tire shop, works with rims, and told me that I could only get 2 on and 3 not fit. I could do some boring, but that would not make it safer. Does he just not know what he is talking about?
