Coming along great! Have you test fitted them over the front calipers yet? You have my interest, big time. 
No concerns over the strength of the modified hub?

My original wheel bearings are shot after 15 000km's... wonder why
The backspacing is the same as stock so I have enough clearance on the inside and they clear the Brembo's. The 275 will be too wide, but according to my calculations a 245 will be fine in the rear and I could probably go to a 255 on the front if I want.
I will keep a close eye on the new wheel bearings/hubs at the track and will let you guys know how they hold up. You do not want to do this mod yourself though, the drilling/backfacing needs to be done by professionals in a machineshop.
thanks for the compliments guys
Will keep you posted buddy!

I was running 245's on a 7.5 rim with a +38 offset all the way around for 2 years, all you have to do is roll your fenders slightly(literally, just the lip on the inside) in the back if you decide to get low. About 6 months after I put them on I dropped 2F/2.5R with no other serious issues. I am running 225's in the front now because I am also going for a nice stance.
