roughly same specs on my mb weapons 17x8 +46. im running 245/40s with less than a finger gap all around and im fine!

 

menance, did you buy rpf1 center caps?

 

no. not sure if it will look good with the gold since the center caps are like a carbon color unless my rpf1's were silver. i am getting ray lugs in red or muteki's also

 

pure sex

 

Indeed, they probably would look weird with gold..however I did see the center caps in person, they dont look that bad. The center would have that rusted look without the cap but I guess you can't do much about that. 235/45 is too much, 235/40 would look more clean but I wonder how 245 would look.

 

Murphys Law. thanks

Domo. yea im stuck bro. i dont want the sunk in look and i dont want to use spacers (not a big fan of spacers) so im debating if i should get 235/45/r17 or 235/40/r17. and ill probably cover my rust axle look with some caps.

 

Great looking rims! I'm surprised no one bought these yet. It's too bad they only made these in offsets for the Subaru crowd

Post pics as soon as you get them on!





EDIT: I'm from Frederick BTW, I need to check our your car next time I'm back in MD.

 

^^thanks. pics will be up in a week or so when i get my car back.

 

what brand tires are you getting again?

 

not sure...maybe bfgoodrich kdw2's. or maybe hankook rs2's since there no longer being made and being sold for a really cheap price cuz the rs'3 came out.

 

$92 for a brand new good tire is a steal. its a close out price from tire rack

 

too bad tirerack does not have falken 615, they are falkens premier tire and are around that price or a little higher. I forgot the place I found the price..think discount tire but thats a bargin in itself.

 

use the center caps, everyone isnt using them and itll be different with them

 

i dont think they would flow now that you think about it. Its not even the same color

 

yea but i think the center cap color will throw off the gold. ill think about it tho.

 

the center caps would look ugly since they are chrome and cf. They might look good on black or silver but not gold

 

i agree.

 

my next set of tires will be 255/40/17, and i have the same wheels but in black. I mounted 245 hoosier a6's the other day on an 8inch wheel and its a pretty sqaure setup with a slight hint of budgle just a bit wider than the 245 RE01R's i have on there now. originally i went with rs2's in a 225 and even they had a slight stretch to them. if your looking for meaty tires, trust me you will want a 245.

 

Welcome to the club!
You're going to love them, I almost bought the gold the only thing that stopped my was the offset. I wanted 17x8 with a 35offset. I could have gotten spacers but I did not want to deal with them.

Not sure about the caps since I never bought them, at 25dollars a piece I figured I could do without them for a while longer...I could barely afford the wheels much less the tires then they slap me with 100dollars+shipping for caps...psshh. extortion I'm telling you.

 

245/40/17 ftmfw. this picture makes them look narrower though

heres mine on 17x8. a slight buldge but nothing bad at all
