I just test fit em and they clear the brakes with plenty of room. Now I'm waiting for a friendly delivery of Michelin Pilot Sport Cups tires from my tire angel (you know who u r) to finalize the test fit.
These wheels seem to take up the wheel well space. With the tires loaded, it seems like it will be quite the package to stuff in there. I know some of you run 10 inch wheels and man they must be absolutely stuffed in there.
Hopefully the car will keep purring- and those stars keep moving in the right direction....

^oops....that would be a site...
I'll add to the laughter and comedy to give everyone a good Max story. While I had the wheels off to "test" fit the wheels- I thinks to myself- Might as well change the front brake pads. I yank the calipers off, slip the old pads out, slip the new Carbotech pads in. It is getting rather late and I slap the wheels back on and decide to take it around the block. The first stop I I hear a definite "griiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnd"- Ooooof- What did I do??
I limp the car back into the gargage and start to inspect. My eyes spot something, my brain says "no that can't be", the eyes say "oh yes it is", the brain says "no, no, you didn't do that", the eyes say "oh yes, oh yes you did. Finally the eyes win out. I had put one of the pads in backwards with the metal plate facing the rotor. So now, I have to start over again on that side- jack it up, yank the wheel and caliper off, switch the pad around, put it back together, and now take a final test drive at midnight and all is good again.
I now wake up this morning to find this other goof (and Ben knockin my chops rightfully) on my message about 10 inch wheels. The "medicine" must have been working well last night...;0
