Just confirmed that you will in fact need hubcentric rings for these wheels.

Just in case anyone else is wondering.

Have naive hope that if something like that happens again, i'll be able to notice with less chance of something major breaking. With larger center hole and non tightened lugnuts, won't studs break off due extra play after few wheel rotations? Also isn't it simpler to do first turns of lugnuts on wheel change/unmount, while wheel is still on ground? What will happen if trying to do that w/o centering ring on wheel with non native hole bore?

Just buy the rings if it makes you feel any better.
They aren't needed on this car and it is a long explanation and people have different opinions. I would tell you to search and see what other people say. They are needed on other cars that use bolts instead of nuts, or cars that don't use a tapered lug seat. Like on a bmw for example. Just buy them, they are cheap. Just make sure to get the aluminum type.

Does anyone know if the 17x9's will clear the AP Racing Sprint Kit?

If not, below is the template if one of you wants to check.

I can confirm this too. I ran 6 or 7 autocross events with no spacers. The tire shop put them on for free last time I was in just to fill in the gap but they're really not needed.

Has anyone confirmed that they will in fact clear this or any other BBK kits?

If you can send me the templates I can check for you on mine but I currently have OEM calipers.

Has anyone put these wheels on a scale? Most websites are showing 20lbs with Konig showing 17.49

I got 16lbs 13oz. You can check my build thread I weigh everything. only a few oz more than advertised. They are light!! I combined with stock size Hankook Ventus Evo II's 19lbs. Good for about 6lbs rotating/upsprung weight loss at each corner.

Sorry if I missed what size you were going for. Mine are 17x8. I would imagine about a pound heavier for the extra width.

Bimble Bamble · 10-31-2017, 09:17 PM

17x9 +40 with TRD Springs and SPC bolts, tight fit but ill be on coils soon. Can we add this to the wheel directory @DarrenDriven ?

sciencetists · 01-01-2018, 03:00 PM

I found a video which gives a good impression of the profile of the spokes.
