If you are saying 17x9.5 Race Star wheels for the 5th gen, they are not in stock. What wheels do you have ordered?
I would not run the tire size you mention those are like 26.0 tall. Unless you are intentionally wanting to run them.

Well..I bought a set and the next shipment is next week, unless its changing again, but since you are a distributor you know whats really going on!
I want to run em cause its smaller and will give me more 'gear' like 4:56 haha, but dont know if its a good a idea.
