    Very nice. Welcome to the 17s club! Keep your stock wheels/tires. They are part of what makes the ZHP a ZHP.

    Saw that as well. The 17's in hyper silver can be had for a really good price too.

    $747 for a full set.

    Arc8's are very popular, only time I ever found their group buy for 17/18s was in late Fall. Could be wrong though.

    I'm surprised how many of us run 17s.

    Great price, $103 cheaper than I paid for my Hyper Black set.

    Your car was one of the ones that pushed me toward 17s over 18s.

    Group buy on 18's just started. I'm in for a set https://www.groupbuyparts.com/apex-1...s-q1-2017.html

    I'm thinking of getting 8.5et38 up front and 9et42 in the rear. Anyone running that size? Know if they fit on a lowered car?

    I added my name to the feeler list. Gave it some thought about sizing as well and decided to go with the same sizing you had mentioned. Car is lowered as well

    There is really no need IMO. Unless you plan to run like a 255 section width front and wear.

    A 245 section width fits well on a 8.5" rim but a 245/35/18 has a smaller sidewall which is not always a good idea.
