Default Ordered Brock B1's 17x8.5 offset 13 and 17x 10 offset 20

I am going with 225/45-17 on the 8.5 and 255/40-17 on the 10 to keep the same rolling distance. I am lowered with Eibachs. Do you guys think I'll need to roll the lips on the front fenders? Any one running this setup or near setup.... Thoughts? I'll post pictures after I get the rims and tires mounted, I'll also post the weights rims alone and rims and tires together.

Default how much do you like quattro?

you may find that throwing everything off with different sized wheels even with the same rolling diameter may cause damage to the transmission.

But then again.. it's your car.

Default yeah hes called american gigolo in that site, and hes steve1.8....something one here

I saw them.... I wanted polished lips and his rolling distance is off more than the max 3% rule of thumb. Plus I got them new w/ polished lips for alittle more.
