Ben did you need spacers to clear the brakes on the rear? I found another vendor with the anthracite ones and they include spacers for the rear. I'm not getting the anthracite ones, just came across them.

Took the pics with a iPhone they look wider in person

Customer service is alright but the prices are great and they have worked with me on problem I have had and they have the best return policy of any company out there 365 day return policy!

The 20" fr500's from CC did not need spacers they clear the brembo's easily and no problems in the rear!

Hmmm, been considering these wheels for a couple weeks now, I must say thank you for helping my decision, since its really hard to find pics of these on an '11. They look great with the Grabber Blue. I am wondering if I should get slightly meatier tires, those super lo pros really accentuate the wheel gap. I will not be lowering any time soon.

I agree, I have been looking ar these wheels also but with a polished lip. If I buy them I am going to go with 295 35 or 305 35 and 275 35 up front for a meatier look

Well just keep in mind that a tire with more sidewall will increase the ride height of the car as well.

OK, I think I will do this in conjunction with lowering. I just can't live with the gap. Is any front end alignment necessary with just installing the wheels? I want to change these out with the stockers for winter driving, so I'll be swapping twice a year. I'm not going to be too interested in getting re-aligned every time....
