i almost bought the gragars but i remember everyone talking about how heavy they are and i do like the TT IIs alittle better. had to settle with 16x8s because i didnt feel like paying an extra 300$ for an inch bigger tire that has no width difference.

You didn't mention what size they were, but if they are 17x9.5"s you might have a rubbing problem. Most people seem to use 5.5" backspacing all around for those rims. Personally I opted for 5.25 on the front to give a little extra clearance from the tie rod, as 5.5" was a little too close for my comfort.
However, if you ordered 17x8"s or something, Im sure they'll be perfectly fine.

Looking forward to see the pics!!!

Ken
