Any updates?

I have a set of 17x9.5 Darkstars with 28x10x17 Hoosiers waiting at home, I'm getting on the plane now to go home and can't wait!

Buddy of mine went to my house and test fitted the wheels for me and they clear my lowered 1.25" SS fine he said (I have the BMR LCA) he said I might have to tie the ebrake cable but other than that they looked good in pictures. Will update when I get the Hoosiers on them today!

Had a chance today to get the car in the air...17x9.5 absolutely did not fit. Now to figure out what plan b is. Really don't want to do 18" darkstar but welds are expensive as hell.

Yeah I'm grinding my calipers. I have one ground and it clears fine, the lugs on these dark stars aren't exact fits either, extremely annoying to get them on and off.. But whatever, I already have Hoosiers mounted on them and I'm trying to run this weekend.. But yeah, probably won't ever buy racestars again. When I go to 15" they'll be Bogarts or Welds

flyer08 · 08-30-2016, 09:59 PM

Mine won't even fit to grind the brembos. I don't know if I have wrong offset or what but that's all I can figure out. Working with dealer to return them since I havnt mounted tires

Really? That doesn't seem right. Yeah they don't fit but they're close enough to grind if they don't fit. At this point I don't care about how my calipers look I just want to run 10s before I deploy, I'll swap to V6 brakes anyways.. Just can't right now

Flyer there are only two 17x9.5 part numbers for GM, one fits Camaro and the other fits the G8.

The 17x10.5s I sold did rub and he did some grinding.

NABeastRR · 09-01-2016, 10:07 AM

I like the looks of these but why cant they get it right? I thought the 10.5s would had fixed it.
