Default Budnick Cobalts

http://www.budnik.com/roadwheeldetai...3&pid=517&pg=1

I'm considering upsizing my 85 to these 17x9.5 & 17x11 Budniks.

I have GS fender flares -- could I run 17x13?!??!?!?! :crazy:

FYI -- Budnik just got back with me and said they can make the 9.5 & 11 inch Cobalts for my 85 in the correct offset.

Manufacturing time would be 2 -3 weeks...

Those look pretty cool. They make each set of wheels for each individual order? That is cool. How much does soemthing like that cost?

No further mention of the 13's?

I'm still waiting to hear back about the 13's. I would love to see some 335's tucked under the wheelwells.... :yesnod:

Cost is 436.25 per wheel for the 17x9.5 and 461.75 for the 17x11 per wheel. To me, this sounds decent considering they are custom made wheels for this application.

13's will probably fit a zr1 but not ours. I put 335/30/18's on my 18x11's last week and they are tight. Sorry no pics yet. Will post when I take them. Finishing suspension now.

With the 18x11's is the clearance issue the fender lip, or the suspension? If it is the fender lip, I wonder if the GS flares will cover the tire????
