Both wheels 17x9 but the offset changed from 4.75 to 3.5. Going to take them back to the shop to have them double checked first chance i get.

The reason I didn't ever need to balance mine is because they were Nittos and nothing to do with the slabs. If I would have out on MTRs or BFGs they would have needed balancing. The slabs are an awesome wheel.
