Curious -- what is their offset? How much do they cost? Are they steel or alloy? As for tires, 29x9.5 "should" work without any clearance problems, assuming proper offset (but I highly recommend either testing it or getting a confirmation from someone who is actually running such tires in their Syncro). Cheers, MJS
