Hi there, I bought the 17/9s earlier this year and they stick out 1/2"-3/4". My 2000SS is slammed 2.5" and they rubbed like a MF. I just bought the 18/9&18/10s AR Rebels with BFG KDW NT 275/35/18 last week and Bryan from DT gave me an awesome deal and they ROck. They fit perfect as low as I am. For the price, you can't beat it. I'm rating these wheels with the Iforged, HREs&etc, and I would not pay 3200 for just the rims. I'm getting a cam,3200vig,jethots,custom y-pipe,and a few more for just 3690. Anyway, don't get them if you are planning to slam your car. Otherwise, you'll look like the other guy who don't know what offset and back spacing is. BTW, the 17s have no deep dish, my 18s are 3.5+ inches deeeep diiiish. Take care and good luck. Kevin from Las Vegas.

also chioice cam that makes sence that the rims stuck out about .5 of an inch becasue the difference of the 25mm offset to 36mm offset is just about half an inch, and since 36 is the smallest offset without sticking out, the 25mm offset would rub om most cars, but if you want to run a 4X4 setup with outbeing lowered, then you might be ok.
BUT POINT MADE.
THE 25mm OFFSETS STICK OUT.

Hi there FLAWLS1T/A, funny for the offsets on the 17s. My 18/9 has the same exact offset and backspacing as the 17s which is 25mmx7-1/2inch backspacing. When Colten mounted the 18/9 upfront, they fit just perfect. Colten and Bryan from DT turned the wheel and they agree, they fit. At that point, I was so relieved because these rims are sooo niice it's amazing more people don't have them. And like I said, for the price, you can't beat them. The deep dish is like yours if not deeper. Heh, just out of curiousity, how far are you from March Air Reserve Base. I'm stationed there and I'm there once a month. Moreno Valley can't be too far from you. I might drive my SS next month on the 17th for my reserve weekend. Let me know, maybe we can hooked up and compare cars. By the end of September, I should have the SS from having a cam, vig 3200, jethots, custom y, 3inch cutout, no cats- maybe later, LS1 lid, 160stat, and some other stuff installed. Later, Kevin.
