as long as it clears, that's good news.

is it about the same amount of clearance as stock? the stock clearance is a little scary lol, seems to be about 1.5mm

edit: ohhhh i see now, the clearance of the spokes seems fine, but the actual wheel is pretty darn close to the caliper...

There's no rubbing or grinding as far as I can see, but it's still a little worrying, there's about 3mm from the caliper to the inside wall of the wheels. Hopefully the calipers don't expand too much at the track

The wheel isn't going to be a problem..the weights tho..how close are those?

about 1mm, its terrifying. I'm going to get the wheels rebalanced tomorrow to see if they can be moved. If not, I'll swap the front and rear wheels on that side since there is way more room with the rear calipers.

As soon as I mounted the wheels I thought "Shit I should have gone with 18s in the first place"

We'll see how these hold up to daily driving and a HPDE in a couple weeks and go from there.

Honestly, outside of a weight coming off, you'll be fine.

Took my first snow drive today on the way to work.

oldlostcory · 03-29-2017, 01:02 PM

Winter is finally over. Put the summer wheels back on and changed the oil today.

Everyone else is on here saying winter is over and putting on their nice wheels, meanwhile in Alaska.....
How was the drive? I bought mine just after the last snow of the season in Idaho so I haven't tried her out yet.

Put my recoated wheels back on. Cell pic so not the greatest. They are really a heavy metallic and pop well in the sun. Excited for my buddy to take some pics of them with his camera.

Photo my buddy did last weekend
