I bought MB battles 17x9.5+15 all around with 235/45 front and 255/40 rear tires. My car is lowered on Espelir springs. I'm not sure if I like the wheel fitment that much. If I had a set of coilovers I could set the height to where I want it, but I don't have money for those. The rear wheel gap went from barely fitting one finger to two. Opinions?
well 2 things...lower would be better, but you would be slammed which I'm not sure if you want that...and 17 is not for me, although someone here put 17s on his and it looks freaking sweet
they look nice dude. Nice fitment too. My only other comment is that its one size too small. Otherwise I like

I would've preferred 18's, but I bought these last year for very cheap. The 18's were sold out then also. The 18's are back in stock, but the prices on them have gone up a lot.

Thanks

Coilovers are on my to do list

I really liked your car on the chrome TT's man! but i know how it is, gotta change things up sometimes
The chrome TT's were nice, but I needed a change, I wanted to be part of the hella flush movement! I just need the coilovers
The reason i'm iffy on this setup is because of the rear tires. I should've gotten a 245 or a 235 out back, oh well.
I have a friend with 18's with I think the same offsets and its pretty flush. And he's on coilovers. If you got coils and dropped it LOWLOWLOW I think you could make the 17's work.
