Go with 18s. The ambits are heavy anyway and since yours is a daily set up, 18s will look much better. 17s are too small for these cars IMO.


Are you getting hyperblack or gunmetal?

Thanks for the heads-up, I will keep that in mind.


I will be going for Gunmetal, most likely.

Hit up Home Despot and grabbed the HW I needed to finish my center stack. Pretty pleased with how it came out!

Ambits been having trouble keeping their stock thanks to the rise in popularity from TjHunt.

If you're set on getting reps, i suggest looking into rota titans. They're tc105n reps and look boss

Yea I have no doubt that it's because of TJ, but I figured that his RS8s would be the ones selling out. Lol it's so funny you mentioned the titans because they're exactly what I'm going to buy. I just haven't decided on if I want the black or gold. Totally going w/ 17x9 and 245/40/17 tires

Yea I'll probably get the black!

I'd totally do 18x9.5, but rubber is soooo much more expensive at an 18' rim, and rota doesn't make 18' titans!

sure they do.

I don't think 245/35/18 rubber is much more than the 17 equivalents. Maybe 100 bucks more in the set. Trust me, you'll want 18s if this is for daily/show.

Oh dang you're right!

I like the look of 18's much more than 17's, but wont I be forced to get coils to fit the 9.5 width? Not that it's a problem, I just don't want to drop a ton of money all at once for tires, wheels, and suspension.
