17x10/10.5 wheel setups

I picked up a set of OZ mitos over the weekend, These wheels are 3 peice and do not have a stamp or sticker with sizing ect....

After measurements today i came to these 2 wheels sizes..

17x8.5 et45 (2" lip)
17x 10 et 41 (3" lip)

Just threw them on the car for a test fit by eye ball and the fronts werent too bad...could proboblly pull the fender or buy wider fenders..

The rears are my main concern. i havent seen an 10" rear on an FC yet in the picture thread without an et 20 or something close.

I would PREFER to stay on stock body for the rears. If i dropped down 1/2" lip size on the rear to 2.5" lip. thats still a 9.5" wheel.

1. Is this possible with stock body?
2. shine rear over fenders for an 10"?

Im gonna keep searching, figured id post this up meanwhile!

OK! so i packed up the wheels and took them down to VR wheels today to have them check them out and give me actual numbers...

turns out these are NOT what i thought they were...

THEY ARE IN fACT

17x11 et 14 ( 8 inch barrel, 3 inch lip) which explains the mad poke in the above pic.
17x8.5 et 24 (6.5 barrel, 2 inch lip)

I can turn front wheels lock to lock without touching anything...but sticks out about 20mm....The rears have finger width of room between the arm and barrel..

THE REARS...are what concerns me.. I had about 2 inches or so , measured with a straight edge, tire in the air from the rim...from the fender..

i put a block under the wheel to compress the shock a bit and the wheel came in a little closer...

I am thinking with a 2 inch lip i will have 1" or less to make up in camber/fender rolling..leaving me with a 17x10.
