Maybe PM DarrenDriven??

I have swift springs but then again I have 35 offset instead of 45. Do they not make a lower offset?

Not according to the size chart that was posted. Then again I don't think they're even available yet. Does Enkei do custom offsets?

Edit: Nevermind, custom offset would cost too much. Plus, I think I've found a solution...

Why don't you go to 16" wheels to save some rotational inertia? :O

I do like those Enkei wheels though, but if I had an FRS I'd have Kosei K4Rs in 16".

The same reason I'm not getting 18", I want to keep the stock size. Just go wider. I think I've found my solution. There's a member with some other Enkei wheels that are 17x9 +45 and he just needed 3mm spacers on the front to make them fit. I'll just do that, though I'm wondering if I should square the spacers to the back too.

If you don't need spacers on the rears then I see no point in doing it.

OCD haha I'd want them to match. But you're right, no sense in putting spacers on the rear if they don't need it.

I just never felt safe using spacers but that's just me. I know people that track and autox with em but for some reason I never felt 100% about then. With spacers do you need extended threads?

I got complained on at work today lol I was too mean to a girl who wasn't telling us the truth about her dirt bag "boyfriend". My sgt laughed but I mean really?

I get home ready to wash my makeup off/shower.... No water.

In the middle of calling the water company I hear my dog yelping like she's being killed. I toss my phone and run outside. She's stuck under the fence flopping around. I get her out and block the hole... I walk back into the house covered in mud. I go to wash my hands. DAMNIT no water...

Stomach grumbles and I cuss again. I'm not eating with muddy hands...

I did get good news! My XDs is on it's way to me!! To be delivered thurs when I'll be at work... It has to be signed for

That's a good question. I shall find out from the guy that has them if he needed extended threads.
