OFFICIAL: wheel/tire picture thread... show em off!

Hey, I was wondering if someone could help me out with something. I was looking around for a set of wheels just in case I wanted to change my set-up. You know, go pro-touring instead of drag? I figured if I found something different that I really liked I would swap it up for next year. And yes, I found something! I figured these would look nice on a silver twin turbo TR. I know I haven't seen them on any TR before so I know these are the ones for me.

Now the big question..........Does anyone have EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS they are willing to let me borrow? Don't worry, I'll be able to pay you back in about EIGHT THOUSAND YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this 0 offset? Or was any - added?
 
Looks good Austin! Love the meaty look on all four corners. Are you getting any rubbing with those 265 fronts?
 
If I go up to 17x7 in front and 17x8 in back do I have to keep offset at -3 like stock or just leave it at 0?
 
Just got these mounted and balanced. Can't wait to throw em on

Any lowering springs?

Surprised that I even saw this, but honestly......it has been so long since I have worked on the car or been under it that I forgot which rear springs I have. They are lowering springs though with air bags.
 
Thanks. I went with a 2 piece forged aluminum mesh style rim/ gloss black powder coated centers with custom engraved turbo 6 caps. A local rim shop custom made them for me with the stock offset so no rubbing issues or adapters required. I have a 18×8 up front and a 18×10 in the rear.
Do you have any rub? Or had to roll fenders or notch?
