Just got my 17x11s on!








Im still having problems with rubbing over bumps, just the drivers side. I did everything in the FAQ except rolling the fender lips. Did anyone have to roll them on a stock ride height car? Im wondering if its hitting the lip but i cant tell.

Re: Just got my 17x11s on!

If its only hitting on one side, did you check the centering of the body side-to-side over the rear axle?

Appears they are the 50mm offset wheels, correct?

Yes, they are the 50mm ones. I moved it over to the drivers a tad and now its not as bad, so ill try moving it more and hopefully it doesnt start rub on the passenger side. I found out its not the lip so i wont need to roll them yet.

That is one gorgeous flippin car!

Hate to nit-pick, but one flaw is standing out to me.. It could just be the picture, but your exhaust tips aren't symetical

Re: Just got my 17x11s on!

I actually have the same tires. I know they are ZR1 wheels. However there are about 30 manufacturers of ZR1 wheels. They look like OE Concepts. The reason I ask is that is what I wanted to order but they were out of stock - I ordered "Factory Replicas" instead.
