That thick clear film stuff works good. Can't remember what it is called.
PPF=Paint Protective Film. Good stuff. The OEM's use it. Rich people wrap their entire supercars with it. I use it on all my composite lens. Keeps the lights from yellowing from the UV.

15x9. I was afraid to go with the 10s because of the likelihood of the tires hitting the fenders, but I screwed up by not noticing the 4.5“ backspacing that caused the wheels to hit the tie rods.
Dang they look like 10's. I put 15x9 for the rear on my camaro and the fit was perfect also compared to a 10.

The 17” would probably be a good idea because I even had to sand the backing plate a little to keep the wheels and weights from hitting. It’s really close.

Here is the 15” chart.

That does suck. I don't go over 16" on wheels
I agree. For what I understand the 8 lug pattern will only accept a 16 inch wheel minimum. I have 16.5 outlaws with 33x12.5 now.
