What about 17x 8.5" Any clearance issues?

Would you please PM me with pricing on 17x8.5 and 17x9 (including the spacers) for both the QF version and the SF version. In gunmetal color of course

Thanks Cal,
Nathan

ChrisW: Any rubbing or other issues with the 275 series and were the 3mm spacers required? Also do you have any shots at different angles of your car.

rubbing is such a "subjective term"

I had to roll the rear fenders to make it work.

This setup rubs enough to polish the rear end links when the rear tire is at full deflection, and I rub on the frame rail on full steering lock. I can fix that with a custom spacer, but then I need to worry about the lip of the fender.

as for photos, look at the sportscarimage site in my signature for some more pictures. All the pics of the blue evo are mine. You can also see Navid's eXtreme performance EVO running with his 285/30/18's

these rims are hella tight!!! They were my first choice, but I was told by the gurus at my shop that they wouldn't fit without some fender rolling

I have a bad experience with these alittle over a year ago. If you are buying them in 17's they will not fit over the calipers without spacers. They look ok, but kind of on the cheap side once you get them out of the box. Make sure you know what you are getting into before you buy these rims. I fought with Vivid racing about these for months, and had to pay a restocking fee and resurfacing fee on two rims that were mounted. Really pissed me off to be told that they would be a direct fit, when they weren't even close to clearing the fronts. Don't buy from Vivid
Good luck either way!

Did you see the pics of the guy running in an AutoX with them? They'll fit over the front calipers from what ive heard with a 3mm spacer.

I Love my buddy club P1 QF rims

This shot is with a 275/40/17 mounted. The front requires a 3mm spacer to clear the caliper. Someone else on this board mentioned that there was a slightly different hub (b as compared to the C) which specified the thickness of the hub. so according to this other person, the "different" spec would not require a spacer. I have not been able to find a vender that can confirm this.

Correct spacers for these?

I have a set of Buddy Club P1 Racing II Plus 18x8 38mm offset. I'm dropped on GF210s, will 3mm spacers work for this set up and will I have to roll the fenders? Already have the wheels, came off my other car.
