? I thought the standard was 3, my Advans for my STI only took 3
You're scaring me for my next set of wheels for the X 
Those are
, like everyone else I cant wait to pics. This setup also confirmed a thread I just posted yesterday about same size wheel all around but different offsets.Hmmmmm, this is gotta be widebody or at least fenders bolted on?

Thanks for the compliments and critiques. I am fully prepared that not all will not like the setup. 
In actuality, I wanted a stretched setup so I can tuck the tires underneath the stock fenders, albeit fully rolled and slightly pulled, with a whole lot of camber. I highly doubt 295/305s would fit underneath the stock fenders, however 285s are plausible. The 275s will be the test tires for the time being.
IMHO, there are way more stretched setups compared to what I have and I look at this as a "mildly" stretched setup. The stretch is slightly less than a 245 on a 10.5 wheel which I have seen with many evo x setups (aftermarket wheels with stock tires).
Now, I am just waiting on some lugs before I start test fitting. I can't wait!
edit:
Not sure why the 6 month wait... I was anticipating a 3~4 month wait (standard, same with my old SSR MS1 wheels with custom offsets) and kept badgering Driveline about the delivery. Perhaps it's due to the lack of sales for the "new" SP3 models? Is it due to the custom offsets? Aluminum/commodity supply dropped due to the ****ty economy? Who knows... the fact that I got the wheels in my hands now is good enough.
