you have to get 17's. 16s wont clear the caliper.

John is the man! Nobody more qualified for that answer. Give him a call order up some of those awsome wheels he makes. By the way his company is

Wheels/tires/shipping = approx. $900, far as I know, CCW is the only source.

Why would you try to make something else work and risk it? John at CCW has the best set up. It fits perfect and looks great. I thought about trying to make something different fit, but it's just not worth it. The CCWs are great. :cool:
