Picked up the Wider Evolution (C7) wheels and tires
Hi All
Just picked up from the dealer the wider Evo (C7) wheels 17" diameter, 8.5" wide.
They mounted the 255/40/ZR17 Michelin Pilot Sports on them and the whole package looks quite intimidating.

Re: two wheels?
Yes, I only bought 2 wheels, gonna use them on my bike 
kidding...
Basically I already have the 4 C7 wheels which I'll keep using on the front. The wider ones will go to the rear for a staggered setup.

With the 255mm tire on an 8.5in rim it seems like there is a tiny bit more tire sticking out.
BTW, this was what I was hoping to achieve too

Congrats! Now you also need spacers, 10mm should make them look even sweeter Don't forget about pictures 
Although I'm not sure if you can use 10mm - may be to much (it makes an equivalent of a 275mm tire).
