Nice, but any reason got the staggered wheels for running non staggered tires?

^ And what did you think of the Downforce fenders as far as fitment?

Went with staggered wheels because, well, it was a time crunch. My gf actually bought the wheels at the East coast distributor 2 days before we left for HCII - I was half asleep through the 5-10 phone calls I received as they were trying to make sure I got the right setup. In retrospect, I would have preferred 17x10's all around. Current plan is pick up a second set that would complete the 9 and 10 sets (so, 17x9 +63 and 17x10 +72) so I can run 255's square on the 9s for DD and 275s on the 10's for track duty (or 10s for summer tires, 9s for cold weather tires).


The Downforce passenger side fender fit as well as or better than OEM (I'd give it a 9.9/10). The Driver side fender is a little off right at the top of the headlight where it meets up with the bumper, looks like the fender wasn't molded quite right (8/10), but I'm figuring that it was just a one-time bad piece in an area that's notorious for being hard for aftermarket (and OEM) fenders

If I had the choice again, I would still go with the DF fenders (if that means anything) over any of the other wide fenders on the market
