The +45 is a bit cheaper in my area but too many stories of rubbing. No plans on getting a BBK either and not a fan of the poke I see on some of the cars I see on this tread although I plan on getting 245/40/17 tires. Not sure if i'll poke. Sorry for the noob questions. First time getting rims/wheels. Does the stock suspension have a camber adjustment option or do I need to get aftermarket lca/camber bolts/etc
I'm lowered 1" on Hotchkis springs with camber set at -.8 front/0 rear (front camber bolts, rear LCA's). The shoulder of the tire is pretty well flush with the fender up front (barely tucks over bumps). Since you're another half inch lower they would "naturally tuck" a little more, and you may be required to run a slight bit of negative camber to clear the fenders. I went +35 because I'm on lowering springs and wanted more clearance near the spring perch. On coilovers, you will have more clearance with a +45 if you want to avoid any poke (and could use a spacer to bring them out towards the fender slightly if you wanted).

Looking good. How did you get those white writing on the tires? Looks pretty cool.

This is mine.

I'm actually trying to find the same wheels in black for a trade. Please let me know if any of you have the black ones and want to trade for silver ones!

Yea silver are much more rare than the black one. On the note of white lettering. I Rememebr seeing a documentary on RWB porsche. Nakai apply the white lettering by cutting out the stencil of the letter and than spray painting it white. Not sure if it's the same method here

I used an oil based paint pen you can get at any craft store. When I did this last year I bought a Sharpie version. This year I couldn't find the Sharpie and went with a brand called Craft Smart. It works really well. Buy the thinnest marker possible or else it comes out looking like a 2nd grader did it.

If you are interested, I added better pictures in my build thread
