Question Any info on the guy who ran 17x11's all around

Awhile back I read a thread with a guy who ran 17x11's all around It was a Sunset Metallic SS does anybody have a link or the specs (offsets) I'm very interested in trying this, I don't run into cars every day who run 315's in the front.

Just curious if anybody that is lowered done this setup and if you have can post pics and are there any isssues with 17x11's all around......................

Thanks

pretty late response... pix in links in signature.
there is plenty of room in the front to even fit 335s... you'll also note a link on my albums of a friend running 335s on 17x12 on all corners.

no rub at all, lock to lock, even when racing with race-rubber.
Heck some people have 335 on 17x12 on all corners and don't get rubbing in the front... there is much more room in the front than in the back... I did have rubbing in the back that I had to deal with... never have I had anything in the front.
That's just a urban legend... wide tire rubbing.
If it rubs, either your alignment is totally out of whack or the offset is wrong.
