Just took some pics a few minutes ago... sorry it took so long
took some work to get them to fit...
Unfortunately... they didn't fit near as easy as I had planned due to some offset problems...
My other 10J's must have been +30 or +28 or something cause when I put these on they didn't fit... which means the whole wishing that they could be -15 is a wash sorry...
what I can tell you is 10J +7 (the wheels pictured below) will fit, but... you MUST bang the inner fender well in to clear so it doesn't run on the side wall of the tire... plus pound some more on the fender lip was necessary too.
this is the end result of 10J +7 off Work VS-MX (with no spacers now)
Now I need to find new front wheels cause I hate mine now.

just an old pair of 235/40-18's... I just put them on to burn off and see how they looked on the car... I need to order another pair of Revspecs before I go to the track again... really fun tire to drive on, its a shame they don't make them for the US Market.

my friends running some 17x9 +/-0off and 17x10 +6off (old school SSR formula mesh) had to do some extensive pounding to get them both to fit, hes going for the low and wide (no aero/stock aero) look... looks pretty fat.
I think 17x7 +45 should fit with out much problem, but I'm not sure how much of a difference that would be from what everyone is using with stock offsets for a 9J wheel. only thing I'm not sure of is will it clear the caliper? I've used 17x9 +40 but I think +45 on a 7J might be a bit too sunk in.
