Why would you want to do that? The only pro would be that the TSWs are a half inch wider, which isn't that huge much of a pro... unless you are wanting to run more tire (like 275s)? If I were in your shoes, I'd stick with the Prodrives though. They are certainly lighter and probably stronger, and look better in my opinion.

In two weeks, I'll meet a guy who has interlagos 17x9 +63 and see if it fits.
It's that half Inchen I want, thinking better steeringresponce and so on with 255.
But I agree with you, prodrives is better looking and probably a better rim...so I'm a little hesitant
I'll let you guys know if it fits in two weeks!

Like I said, I'm just not sure a half inch is really worth it for a 255 tire... Obviously its your call though, but personally I think the weight savings and strength of the Prodrives would outweigh the half inch of width you would gain.
Either way I'm sure you'll be happy though. They are both great wheels that should perform well. In the end, they are probably marginal differences.

The clearance is pretty tight, but I've never had wheel contact the calipers. The pictures are without a spacer- I'm running a 1/8" spacer (3mm ish) to clear the upper control arms at max turning limits- so with that you'll have more clearance if you need a spacer. No problems without spacers though, including pulling 1.2+ G sustained in turns.

New Volk CE28 17x10 +44 Made specifically for the S2K and clear to clear BBK including the Stoptechs.
This is a new special wheel and not the 17x10 +45 that Volk makes which does not clear anything but the stock calipers.
The minimum order has been met. This is a done deal, these are going to be made.
Special pricing as well. Don't wait.
