Terry, I forgot to ask you about the maintenance on the 17's. What tire pressure do I have to keep the tires at? What kind of preventative driving do I have to do to avoid damage? I got the wheels stored away in my parents cabin for now. I'll put them on once I get all 4. Imagine rolling around with 2 17's in the back and two hubs in the front? Ghetto!

30-35 psi. Try to avoid hitting bumps that have abrupt edges and avoid pot holes at all costs.

Granted, these wheels have been tested and approved via certain quality standards but they're not indestructable. Most likely you'll realize very quickly what you can drive over and what you can't. 40 series tires do not suck up much of the shock.

thanks for the advice.
I don't think I'll be running over some potholes anytime soon, but I-5 south from UW is a pain.
