=======================

Regarding paint matching:

I learned that the paint vendor "Dr. ColorChip" will custom mix you a color if you can provide a paint sample. Talk to Lisa.

Also, some body shops have a colorimeter or color meter measuring device to measure & mix colors. You can also rent a colorimeter to get a reading from which many online paint vendors will mix paint. Depends on how much time and money you want to invest. If you find three owners of bronze wheels, you could maybe split the cost?

9.5 with 235/40. Probably could go a little wider with the tire. Usually the front is where most of the fitment issues are

Will those 17x9 +35's clear the Wilwoods up front?

I'm running the 45 offset front and rear. They clear the brakes easily, like 3/8" or more.

Does anyone know if the 17x7.5 48 offset wheel will clear the Brembos of the 2017 Performance Pack cars?

Put some Shockworks coilovers on last week and got an alignment.

I'm really happy with the fitment now. Wheels are pretty flush now at 2.1 neg camber up front and 1.8 up back.Drop is around 1 inch from stock so I have heaps of clearance and no rubbing on full lock.

Tyres are 235/40/17 Kumho KU31. Looking to upgrade to Michelin PSS in a 245 soon though.

Those look great on that car. Imo the red complicates wheel choice.

It looks like they won't. The only confirmed one is the 17x8 +45.

Bronze was hard to find! Sometimes i wish i had gone gold for that extra pop but... racecar

17x9 +35 on 245/40 lowered 30mm

Huge increase in grip this wide, bit harder to rotate the car and less playful at the limit.

Fellow Melbournian! Your car looks sweet. Red toms really pop on silver.

Interested in what your camber specs are. I'm looking to move from 235/40 soon to 245/40, but I wanna make sure the wheels still stay as slush as possible with minimal to no poke.
