As much as I love not needing spacers, et10 would really limit the use of that wheel. It wouldn't fit under rolled rear arches, so flares and hacking quarter panels would be required. With et20-25ish, you could use it in the rear, and you could still use it in the front with 5-10mm spacers. Just my 2 cents...

I'll report back next week with details.

I agree with this.

Also after looking up possible sizes to run I'm really feeling 255/40/17 tires because the offer good Street and track tires! And should fit well on a 17x9 with flares. maybe over kill for my m42.......... till it gets boostedLast edited by Reub_e30; 05-20-2016, 09:34 AM.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

I agree that there's nothing unsafe--assuming you're running hubcentric. My issue is really more of an annoyance: it's a track car with brakes that get really hot--as the hub, spacer, and wheel all expand at slightly different rates they tend to seize together. While this isn't the end of the world, I have grown tired of beating the hell out of my hubs/wheels with a dead blow to get everything apart.
I would be entertaining two sets of these wheels for easy change outs, I don't want spacers stuck inside the hubs of my wheels. That, coupled with none of my current wheels needing spacers to work, not really needing another set of wheels, and not wanting to pay for spacers I don't already have, I would be out. I have motorsports hardware studs and have been happy with them.
