Does anyone run 17's like me?
 
I wanted to know if anyone was running 17's like myself. I have a set of Forgestar's Fronts 17x9.5 +20et Rear 17x10 +25et. What tires are you running? They do clear the sport brakes and suspension is only eibach springs with koni yellow struts.

wow this opens up so many options. I always assumed 17's wouldn't clear sport brakes. have you tested them yet?

Wide 17 inch tire selection like 275 and above in the sidewall ratio needed to stay close to stock is almost nonexistent. I'm guessing that's why almost nobody's tried it.

Several Forced Induction guys run them. Been around for a while.

I thought that was only common on the non-Sport setups? Especially on the fronts.

V8Killer, have you noticed any improvement in ride quality with the larger sidewalls on the 17"s vs your previous setup? And were you running 18"s or 19" before?

I had the stock Rays prior but with the s/c set up I needed more sidewall to hook better, so yes significantly better.

Do you know if Forgestar discontinued these? I can only find them with +50 offset for 17x10’s.
