^The faces on both of those are about 99% the same. I personally can't tell a difference between the two and the 9.5 +47 I think is actually a little easier to fit given the same size tire is run. If you're buying new and need to pick one or the other definitely go 9.5 +47. They seem to be more rare and you'd have an easier time selling them down the road.

Yep, the 9 +40 and 9.5 +47 have identical faces. And I'm with Steve, just go with the +47. Much easier to fit.

Also I don't really see the difference between mercury silver and titanium silver. Anybody have some comparison pictures?

^Thank you for the responses above. So I take it Formula Silver is even more shiny than mercury silver, almost a chrome silver but not quite?

I also found this color chart:

Formula silver is one of those colors that can look dark or light depending on lighting conditions, viewing angles, and reflections. Here's an example of it:

Anyone other than Ryuken running a 17x7.5 +43 with a 215/45 tire in the front on stock fenders with no issues?

Talked to Dennis today, they should be getting a call soon once they are through customs, so looks like sometime next week they should ship. I'm terribly excited but I'll say it again, never will I order anything from Japan, haha. I'm just not a patient person, and this is cutting awfully close to the sandy hook meet.
