Yes another wheel fitment???
I'm sorry for asking another fitment question please don't bash me to hard.
From doing my research I have seen a lot of this and that for what works best for stock fenders and stance.
As of right now I currently have stock suspension and fenders, but as I type this I am ordering tein coils and hopefully wheels. Just throwing this out there I don't mind having to roll fenders but no dramatic work.
I really am clueless about offset and the whole camber/alignment stuff. And yes I have done plenty of reading up on this but for some reason When I think I got it I read something else and I'm back to square one!
Ideally I want a setup that's not staggered so I can rotate and save tires? I don't track but love the mountain roads.
From the research I've done I'm looking at 17x9.5 with 38 offset all around if I understand the whole thing correctly and running 255 width tires.
ive been offered a setup that's 17x9.5 with a +25 offset. For a good price.
Can this be done all around? What would I need to make this work if I get these?
I have downloaded the fitment program from here but RIP to my laptop so I'm stuck with my iPad for now. And yes no easy access to a computer I can install this on.

Don't think that diameter, width and off-set will work. It's also about 1/2" wider than you need for 255's.
Like you, I was on a learning curve about size/width/off-set. After some study and searching... I'm running 255 all around on 17 X 9 +48 on adjustable height coil-overs set just slightly lower than stock height...maybe 1" in front. It required no fender rolling and no issues with rubbing, though I do run an adjustable front sway that's set a little stiffer than stock. At the time the wheel manufacturer (Enkei) had a technical help desk. The guy I talked to was pretty helpful and claimed his database actually showed I could go 265 on those wheels in the rear of the FD without clearance issues.
Also a side-note...if you get directional tires...and you should IMO, you really won't be "rotating". All you can do is move from back to front.

Hmm. Ok. Well I guess I'll do more more research and reading. Still confusing stuff!
Good thing I didn't jump on the wheels!
I understand that I cld only go from front to rear and not "rotate" them with directionals, but seeing that you have your setup, is there a benefit to running a setup all around than staggered? Is the fron to rear "rotating" even beneficial?
