Thinking of XXR 536 in 17x9

I really want 17x9s for pleasure driving, autocross and track days. I don't want to go any wider or taller. How do you think the fitment on these wheels will be? Anybody got em in this size and offset (+25mm)?

6" back spacing isn't gonna work on the front. Probably will need close to a 3/4" spacer.
0 to 8mm probably would fit better on the front.
Not liking the 5x120 bolt pattern either but many do it anyway.

You can run those wheels with the proper adapters - 5 x 120 and 6" BS are not going to be bolt-on easy.

There are other options on the market - have you checked those out also?

Yes. I want a mesh/crosslaced dished wheel if possible.

Then don't mess around with these and go for the reproduction GTA wheels in 17" x 9"!

I just might, but was hoping to save a few bucks. Not really into spacers, though.
