I run the 18x8.5 +44 fronts and 18x9.5 +44 rears. I took the wheels up to Baer and we test fit the Pro+ on the smaller of the two and there is a TON of clearance as a result of the concave of these wheels. The rears are even more clearance.

I have a set of 5Ziegen FN01R-Cs that are 17x7 or maybe 8s.... with a +38 offset that I do not believe will fit the Pro+. Sorta bummed out if they don't but you can't have everything. I can let you know next week though if they do

Depends on the wheels but 17X9 et 35 has been somewhat BBK friendly depending on the wheel and brake kit.

I know my other car that also has a Baer BBK was always a challenge to find 17" wheels that fit. My 5zigens would only fit my other setup if I used a 6mm spacer on the fronts. I have a set of Konig Daylites 17x7 that fit without issue but they are on the older 4 piston PBR calipers Baer use to use and 13" 2-piece rotors.

how long will they stay looking like that?

These two colors hold up pretty well to track temps as mentioned in my first post. If this were a dedicated track car I would opt for their raw coating. Depending how hot you get em though it will basically discolor anything.

The copper is nice.
