Wheel Directory: 2Crave MACH-9 17x7.5 +45



Just got these in the mail and got them mounted. They're 17x7.5 +45. The website actually listed them as +35 but the box said +45 looks like 45 to me. Kinda wish they were actually 35 though. Might look into spacers. Would've liked them to be a little less shiny but i think they look kinda cool

If I'd purchased +35 wheels, and got ANYTHING other then what I had paid for, they'd be going back.

i'm honestly not sure which one it is. every site that sells them only lists them as being available in +35 for the 17x7.5's. The box said 45 though. not sure which description is a misprint. I'll probably get spacers though to get them closer to flush. Probably 25mm in the back, not sure what to do in the front though. i don't really want to replace the studs

I like them. They look cool with the blue lugs - classy. Plus anything is better than stock, they're probably lighter too!

Looking at the photos, they are +45. You can confirm this by looking at the outer edge of the rim where it will be stamped J45 or something similar.

Send those things back. They were not correctly advertised.

i was thinking about returning them but i kinda like them. it might actually work in my favor since i may use the stock rims for winter tires and if i put the spacers on, it'll make both sets closer to flush which would be nice

I would return them simply because they weren't as advertised, but if you already mounted and put some miles on them, not much of an argument to make at this point. Just enjoy them.

If you plan on lowering later on, definitely get spacers but if you're keeping stock height, I think they're no worse than the stock fitment.

yea i had them mounted and actually got a flat already this morning they seem to be holding air but might stop by the tire shop tomorrow morning and have them check it out.

I'm actually lowered an inch now on hotchkis springs; probably not going any lower since its my daily driver

i might pick up the b2 auto spacers. i can get 20mm in the front and 25 in the back for 210 shipped which is pretty decent and they look to be good quality. those should be pretty much perfect for both sets of rims to get them somewhere near flush
