Made in asia, by a company that produces wheels for many other aftermarket and OEM private labels.

Just to clarify things here, are these photos of the 17x9 rim on the stock suspension?
I'm just wondering because I'm trying to find a set of 17x9's but everytime I think I find a set, people mention they will rub at full lock.
I'd love to confirm if these 17x9's work with the stock suspension. I'm planning on buying wheels for the STX class in Autocrossing and these will be on my list if they will fit with the stock suspension (I will be upgrading this later and prefer to buy the wheels first).
