Me too.

NABeastRR · 09-01-2016, 02:45 PM

Can anyone here take a picture of how much needs to be grinded off to get a better visual effect of where and how much needs to come off?

flyer08 · 09-01-2016, 05:32 PM

So verified and I recieved the wrong offset. Going to be getting a new set

Pro Stock John · 09-01-2016, 10:38 PM

Dang should have gotten them from me.

flyer08 · 09-02-2016, 12:29 AM

Could of should of. I kept waiting for the 10.5 to buy from you but eventually bit bullet with sale they were running

Pro Stock John · 09-02-2016, 10:50 AM

You could exchange for 17x10.5 I'm thinking just pay the difference. But you might have to grind still.

Backtoblack1LE · 09-02-2016, 02:28 PM

Crap rims honestly. They can't seem to get it right.

I'm going to ask, already thought about that. Sending back today and hopefully get my new BMR LCA installed in next week or two. Won't be able to hit up track til Oct though.

Have a set of 17x10.5 coming this week.

What tire do you all recommend?

Garrett3190 · 09-14-2016, 08:43 AM

I got the mh 275-50-17 radials...I'm sure there are a few different choices you could make it was between that and the et street r for me

Pro Stock John · 09-14-2016, 02:46 PM

^I put MH 275s on 17x9.5s, but they would not be wide enough for 17x10.5s. For the latter you should check out MT 305s or MH 325s.

jc615 · 10-09-2016, 06:05 PM

17x10.5 rub calipers. Will be grinding them down next weekend

Pro Stock John · 10-09-2016, 11:10 PM

Yep. have buzz a little off the tops for some folks.

jc615 · 10-17-2016, 08:00 PM

Just an update, grinded the shit out of brembos and still have a nice (more than half) ring on one wheel. Recommend just paying and going with welds. If I didn't get these for price I did I would never buy them
