Just got my set on Friday. Still trying to figure out what tires to go with. Did a test fit and I may have to take out the camber bolts and just go with the top hats I have.

Got tires mounted (245/40 RE71R) and then bolted the wheels up and rolled it outside to get some pictures. Way too excited for the snow to be gone!

I got my 17x8's about 8 months ago. Had them off for winter. Completely change the look of the car. Put them on two weeks ago and at my first stop someone commented on the car. The concavity on your 9's is boss haha.

Originally, I had 17x8's on order, but the 9 just looks so much better, so I called the shop up and had them change it. Now I get to play the waiting game
