Clearance wise there could be enough room... not saying it is possible or impossible. There is more room.

Mike have you been to the drag strip with them yet? What's your (new) 60' time? I'm looking for something similar for next summer.

I have seen two tenths improvement in 60 ft on our hot greasy track. It has more in it, but right now I am fighting te ESP more than anything.

They really aren't sticking out that much at all, actually. Not sure if I could have reduced the offset by a half inch and still cleared the sway bar or not honestly.

FWIW, I just got a set of 17x8 Soft 8's and they weigh 33 lbs on my scale. I'll probably return them and get a set of American Racing Razors.
