Pictures of my FB with 17x9 on it...
Well not really ON it, but mocked up. The wheels where sitting on the hub surface to give me an idea of what it would look like and suprisingly fit VERY well. these rims are 17x9 +20 offset, has about a inch clearance from the spring and sits flush with the fender.
From what i gather of this fitment is that 17x9 +20 fits great (or 15-16 size rims). Didnt know if anyone tried this, so i figured i would throw the idea out there for you wheel fitment guys...btw, tire size is 255/45/17 so if you ran a 235, and rolled the fenders, it would be possible to somewhat slam the car, and not worry about tire rub...btw, im a flushness junky
anywho..im a picture *****...so anyone interested to see what 5zigen 17x9 +20's look like on a flat black FB
like this:
sorry for the fuzzy pictures, didnt realize i had my camera in close mode. anywho also sorry for the somewhat large pictures...

if you have any sort of torque those tires would be flat very quickly on the street from the wheel well cutting into them
I hope it works...
15x7 just aren't cutting it for me with 26x8.5" slicks

Geez,how much clearance do you have to the inside wall?
I have 17X9" in the back too, and with a widebody! I get inner fender wall rubbage when I go up my driveway diagonally.Blame that on our solid rear axles rocking around......

haha... you guys are funny, yes i realize the coilovers arent direct bolt on...duh. Im fabricating something that might be used as a tool in the future for people that want a better option for the front suspension...and possibly cheaper.
As for the clearances of the sidewalls agains the inner fender, there was about a 1" gap between the fender well and the sidewall, so if you run a lower profile tire you will not have tire run...and this is with a 17x9 +20 offset...so if you run a 16 or less diameter wheel with the same width and offset you'll have no issues what so ever if you run a low pro tire.
