I'm back from the shop and we test fitted the Gram Light 57F 17X7.5 48 offset. The result...drum roll...These rims are NOT EVEN CLOSE TO FITTING properly. I have one pic that will prove it. I wish I got a wide shot but my batteries died.(of course) Oh well, there is a nice close up that CLEARLY shows that the Gram Lights 57F 17X7.5 do not clear the calipers by a long shot.

SLKWrx is going to host the photo. We even put in a 5mm hubcentric spacer and it still didn't clear the brembos! He tried an 8mm spacer and it cleared by 0.5mm. Too close and any rim flex would certainly hit the calipers.

So, so much for this list. I think a new list should be started from scratch and every wheel that supposedly fits should be backed up with a name from an owner who actually has them installed or has physically test fitted them.

That's my 2 cents. Thanks.
