Super Star Reise 17x9 +34 w/ Michelin Pilot Super Sport 245/40 17
Absolutely in love with these wheels and tires. Not only do they look nice (not bragging, just that happy lol), but they fit perfectly.
At the moment my front camber is set to -2° due to me drifting the car. Even with that setting, there's still good enough clearance on the inside from wheel to springs. One thing to note, these wheels come with 90° steel valve stems. The front ones will NOT clear the stock brake caliper. One of 2 things will help, either bend the ones the wheels come with so they can sit lower, or get lower profile 90° stems, which you'll need to add a spacer/shim to because they will be too low. I had originally bent the ones that come with the wheels after they were installed, ended up with air leak because I damaged them. Then I bought low profile ones, which the tire shop suggested to shim because of how short they were. They used the spacers that came with the taller ones. Also, you will need the band type TPMS. Currently running RCE Yellows, which give it a 3/4"-1" drop, no rubbing issues. The poke is very small, almost flush. The Michelin Pilot Super Sport are very grippy. Well above the stock tires. I've been driving around with the ABS fuse pulled, haven't reinstalled it since the last time I went drifting, and I haven't had any traction issues, not even in the rain. *This size wheel hasn't been added to the directory. Please add to aid those that have seen these wheels online. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Thank you for the heads up on the 90 degree valve stem! I actually ordered a set of these wheels in 18x9.5 +25 SL disk. The shop I ordered the wheels from said they'll clear stock brakes but I'm hoping that I won't have any issues with that 90 degree valve stem.. Also awesome wheel/color choice!! Looks real good man!
