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
