    Extra wide wheel width and precise offset pairing allow for massive tire stretch fitment
    damn thats the ricey-est thing i've read in while.

    17x8.25 should fit as long as the offset is in the +35 range.

    I saw these the other day. I don't get the sizes but yeah they'll fit and probably look sweet.
    17x9.75 is too big

    What offset and size do you want? Are you stretching tires? Negative camber? Need more info on what you want to do..

    I don't know the offsets that are available for the wheels. 45 profile tires + low offset I'm assuming + spacers is going to be difficult

    Whats with the 8.25 lol?? That's just such an odd number they made them in.. anyways i noticed that the 17x8.25's come in either a +25 or + 35. I would personally go with the +35's. They will be pretty darn flush to the fenders and might actually require a tad of camber. Also make sure you roll your rear fenders.

    lmao idk these are made in odd numbers --which completly threw me off like if i knew what this meant to begin with lol but in learning process =)-- i like the wheels but now im debating on getting these from my observations these are clearly not the best wheels to go for when in mind this car is used for long rides 2+hr jersey trips on weekends *then again mainly all highway ride and its sometimes a DD --so im at a 50/50 decision --lets say i buy a good camber kit and decide going with the 17x8.25+35 no spacers riding on already installed konig coilover suspension will setup work?... Main concern is will i be able to have passengers including rear seats on occasional night out/ trip to the beach or is this plain out Hell No !!!! lol

    Just a quickie comparison of the three available finishes in these rims.....




    Looks like I'll be ordering me two 17x9.75" & two 17x8.25 rims come the end of summer.

    I'm torn between the 527 in Chromium Black and the 522 in the same finish. I have a set of summer tires in my basement waiting for some wheels

    Can't wait to see either one of these on an EP3. I should be deciding soon and ordering a set in a couple weeks.
