17x8", and IIRC 35mm offset.
Those are mounted with 235/40's under Cantrell Concepts 30mm wider front fenders.

There is some minor rub at full lock I'll address, but IF I could have found some 225/40's for up front that would have been my 1st choice.
Here's another view.

Full disclosure, there are 25mm spacers up front to clear the Stoptech brake system!

I was expecting a facebook tag! LOL
^ It's just a personal preference. I kinda favor the 17/18 more these days. We all know that both look great though!

^^Wheel Whore^^:biggrin:
Thanks to Steve (Sduff@Composites), I was able to source a set of 18s for the rear. I had previously been running 17s all around but I really wanted to run a staggered setup and I think it came out great - subtle but noticeable difference. I also switched from 10mm to 15mm spacers which pushed the wheel perfectly flush with zero rub. Before and after pics are below.
For anyone interested, my rears will be for sale soon (17x9, +40 offset). What I think is particularly unique about the 17x9s is that they have multiple fitment applications. They can of course be used for rear fitment for anyone wanting to keep the look of the OEM 02+ wheels, but given their offset they can also be used up front for anyone running widebody or the DF wide front fenders.
