If they were 17x9 I'd be all over it.

[Andres06SE]

yes, yes,..like .5 inch is going to make a difference

They are lighter than the 9's I have the 1/4 of inch spacers for you sir

You had me thinking about it but, if I'm getting sticky tires, they need to be BIG (275 or wider).

That's what is holding me back as well, 275s on an 8.5" wheel is pushing it.

I'm not a fan of the buldging side wall deal. I'm hopeing to get some 17x10's but we'll see what the $$ says. It will end up being $2K+ on wheels and tires but so much faster.
