        I don't even notice the tint anymore

        I might sell two of them and just use two for drifting. It depends how they fit on the front.

            Did some test fitting today. The rear clearance is fine. Up front a 5mm spacer is needed to clear the strut. I'm not sure what tire size i'm going to get. i'm thinking 215/40's. I also need to do something about the rubbing in the front. Maybe fender flares and big spacers?

                absolutely LOVE the new wheels. You're doing it right. Just roll your fenders and go a little bit lower to pull that stretch off.

                    Thanks dudes.

                    This is with 5mm spacers front and back. I plan on getting my fenders rolled and slightly pulled, 10 or 15mm spacer in the rear and hopefully coilovers. The IE3 springs are too soft to be any lower.

                    I may also get a wider tire (currently 205/40.) I hear the federal 595's run quite a bit wider than most tires.

                      I like the stretch, maybe a bit more poke and definitely more low.

                          Old was SO much better (car looked perfect IMO). Not digging the excess stretch or the new wheels :(

                            I agree about the stretch (too much.) Tires were close to free so I threw them on to see what they looked like. I don't think I can pull it off without more low, spacers and crazy fender roll/pull.

                            The main reason for 17's in the first place was because of the abundance of tires for 17" wheels. I think I may just go back down to a 15". Much lighter and good cheap tires as well.

                                The old wheels were crack repaired and were "safe" but they had a slight vibration and so I never fully trusted them.
