Default WedsSport SA-70

I am seriously considering purchasing these wheels and I am looking to get some other opinions of them. I know many people have the SA-90s so...I'd like to hear some opinions.

I have MY05 with stock suspension and I don't have any plans on changing it anytime soon, so I am not too worried about anything rubbing. With that said I still would like to put 225/45's on the front b/c I like a meatier tire. Do you think they will fit with this offset?

In the rears, I just plan on running stock tire width 245/40, probably be using BFG KDW tires. I know neither offset is ideal, but I still think that they will fit ok and I really like these wheels.

Also, does anyone know the weight? I know they aren't forged, but I think I remember hearing somewhere that they are still pretty light.

Thanks.

I would rather run a 215/245 combo. just to insure no rubbing. The rears, however, with a 245 on a 8, you might rub on the rear fender on dips in the road, but a slight roll, you should be golden. I however, would run the SA90 17x7.5/17x9 combo instead because the 245 will stretch nicely on that 9 adding more clearance

With those offset the 225/45R17 is going to rub and I have my doubts even with the 215/45R17. I do have a 17X7.5 ET50 SA90 in stock at 229.00 each in the light gray finish. I unfortunately do not have any of the rear wheels.

I guess the 215 will do. I have noticed that the tread on the RE050s is very thin on a 215/45 as compared to other manufacturers, so the wider treaded 215s should do fine for me.
I coudl've sworn they made a 9 +40 something? Or 50 something
