oh yeah, don't know what I was thinking but the wheels are 17x8.5 not 17x7.5.

Excellent choice... I have the same rims (except 18x8.5) and absolutely love them. As an added bonus, they are easier to clean than the stock wheels.

For comparison... here are the 18s:

what size tires you got fitted on there? I'm looking to go wider but Solo2 rules only allow up to 245

Good advice CapaSTI, I know that I'm trying to be careful with them. They are amazingly light though...

Not sure about bmBenson04, but I'm running 235 all around right now. Any wider and I'd be concerned about rubbing issues (without rolling the fenders).
