New wheels

Well here are the first pics of my SSR Comp's 17x8.5 with Kumho Ecsta MX 255/40-17 tires. I needed to raise the back slightly because I found slight rubbing on heavy fast cornering. Other then that they are perfect and I love them I need to get the car cleaned and get some good pics, this is all I have as of now

Cory, like I said I had some minor rear rubbing under hard cornering. The front hasn't rubbed yet, and its actually only about a quarter inch higher then how the Zero2R's came from Cusco (which was LOWW). I am going to test i toroughly tomarrow (hopefully) as well as get some real pics I can tell you that wheel lock brings the tire with 2 mm of the innerfender splash gaurd. Also I am running 17's which makes my tires a bit shorter, but not by much I'll have better pics up shortly

EDIT: I'm bored I think I will take the car out in the rain for a bit, I tightened up the back end coilovers, I would like to see if I get any understeer.
