I'm gonna try and get some new wheels soon (either cobra R's, Y2K Cobra R's, Or Roh Snypers), anyone running the 17" ROH Snyper wheels on their Notchbach and have pics? I've only seen them on hatchbacks so far. Do they have the same offset as Cobra R's? (I'll be using 17x9 rear and 17x8 fronts). I just figured a lot of people have the Cobra R's, although I like them, but the Snypers looked pretty tough too.

I love the Snipers, but I can't afford them

Make sure you measure backspacing (offset) BEFORE you buy...

FYI, Here are my 17x9-1/2" wheels with 275's on all four corners

Wasnt easy!!!

With the stock k-member, it wasnt so bad. Had to roll the fender lip, and stretch the fender a wee bit.

Oncee I put the Griggs k-member and 96 spindles. I did a 2" fender flare to get them to fit.

I was planning on going with 17x8 front, 17x9 rear. Any idea what the backspacing should be? I figured I'd go with the same as the Cobra R set I was looking at: 17" x 8" (+12mm with 4.95" backspacing) for the front, and 2 - 17x9 (+24mm with 5.95" backspacing). Theses are specs on the AFS wheels set, do they sound about right? Also, what does the +12 and +24 mm mean?
