I've got a chance to pick up a set of 17x7.5/8.5 +40 TE's for ~$1,600, they're in pretty good shape but they're flat black and I'd want to refinish them in another color. It seems like a pretty good deal though, what do you guys think?
Also would doing a 255 in the rear be too much for the 8.5?

I paid $1700 shipped and PayPald for my set with good condition Hankook V12s.
edit: just noticed the flat center caps aren't included and are $50 each from Rays, good grief!

I don't have the clearance at 255 8.5 +40 that I'd like, the tire is still a few mm out from the fender.

Hey man check out Nengun Performance for the center caps, they're out of Japan so it will take a while to ship but I found a full set of flat center caps in formula silver for $115 plus $10 for shipping. Would have been $175 through Evasive and they didn't even carry formula silver, hope this helps.

How much camber do you have in the front? It doesn't look like you flared the front fenders very much. Are you worried about compression at full lock? I'm asking because I recently fitted 17x9 +40. Even with semi flared fender and 2.8 degrees of camber, clearance looks questionable at full lock.
