My 17x10 +38s rears finally arrived 
I ran over to Flat6 to have my new tires mounted on the new 17x10s and have the old tires taken off the 17x9.5s so that I can mount the new tires on them as well.
I have to say I was very impressed. The tech was very careful with the wheel finish and their machines are state of the art. No-touch mounting with all rubber grabbers and a laser balancer with behind spoke recognition. Sik stuff!
After I got home I gave the tires a treatment of DryShine, it’s a semi permanent, non-greasy tire shine. I have to say, I was VERY impressed with their product.
Needless to say, by the time I was done with everything the sun had already set. So I'll mount them tonight when I get home from work. And if there is still some light I'll take some pics.
I decided to go with 235/40 Advan A032Rs, even though they are rated at 235, the thread width is more like 255. I'm really happy with the way they look. Now I just cant wait to get them on the car and

Leo, stop teasing -.-
But I'm going to crank her over and take some pics this weekend.
Though it looks like the rear needs to be lowered a little more.
The fronts though are perfect!

They are primarily a Porsche tuner, but do all sorts of Track Support.
If its good enough for the Porsche guys, its good enough for me

So who has bbk with 17x9 +45?
I have 17x8 +45 and going to pickup a BBK kit here soon. From what I have read it will clear with the 17x8 + 45 but the design of the 17x9 wheel makes it harder. I want to run the same width all the way around.
