Thanks Stephen. I knew it was going to be difficult trying to get them to fit with 235/40's mounted. I didn't expect to have problems with the brakes clearing the centers though. Not to mention the months of getting jerked around by the powdercoating shops. Unfortunately one of the wheels still has some flaws. They sandblasted too deep leaving a rough texture, then they powder coated multiple coats to smooth out the roughness. When I torqued the gold bolts down on that wheel, the powdercoat bubbled up around each of the bolts
It's only that one wheel and I'm so sick of dealing with those people I'll just get another wheel, have it done at another shop and use the messed up one as a spare.

Jimmy, How've you been man! Yeah, I finally had to settle for black on the wheels. The powder coating shop screwed up too many times trying to shoot the centers gold. I'm happly with the overall look, but as I mentioned to Stephen, one of them isn't perfect.
Those are my old style 42's!!!
I sold those to Gino for 150 bucks and then he sold his car with those still on it
The style 5's are the same fitment as the 42's(17x8 et20), but I'm runnin 235's on the style 5's. Fender roll isn't gonna cut it, gotta break out the welder
