I have read to run the +15 offset, only the rear fenders need to be rolled. And then you need to do a pretty big alignment.

I guess I have two questions...it looks like I will have to roll the rears regardless so is there any disadvantage to going with 10.5's? I love the way the look, all nice and meaty, but are they too big? Is the extra rotating mass a big deal?

Secondly, where is a good place to have these mounted, installed and to do the fender rolling? Preferably someone that is a bigger shop so I can do it very soon. I don't want to burn up my expensive winter tires anymore than they already are. I might sell them soon too, to help pay for a winter beater.
Well get on that. Limited edition wheels are nice to have.

A wider wheel simply allows you to properly and safely have a wider tire. I'm running 255s on my 9" wheel, the sidewalls are pretty much flush, will try 265s next. 275 would be pushing it. People run 285s on 10-10.5" wide wheels all day. Bigger wheels and tires are heavier, nothing you can do about it other than get lightweight wheels like RPF1s and lighter tires.

www.thealignmentguy.com - Look no further than Jeff, he is the man. He will align your car well and mount your tires for you for an extremely fair price. You WILL find yourself wanting to offer him more money than he asks for. Why are you going to have to run so much camber?
