unfortunately i'm not going to run a coilover setup, i'm going to run with a spring/shock combo. still trying to source out some koni yellows, debating about springs still.

but to the stock fender i can fit 255> interesting. that would require a really good roll and excellent pulling of the fenders

I'll probably be picking up a set of these in the next few months.
17x9 +22 with a 235/45/17 square fitment.
Probably going to just buy an Eastwood Fender Roller.
Anyone know if the 9's up front with a +22 offset will have any problems with the suspension components or am I going to need to run some spacers? I'm not to worried about rolling and pulling the fenders. Thanks

I know when I was looking for wheels for my car I searched and searched for pictures, so now that I have them here's mine:

Rears: 17x10 with Nitto NT05R drag radials in 275/40/17 with MMR camber adjusters and BC coilovers

Fronts: 17x8.5 with Nitto NT05 in 235/40/17 with BC coilovers and some negative camber

Fenders are rolled flat all around (used Eastwood fender roller)

The rears definitely stick out an inch but I like the look personally. I could run more negative camber in the rear but then my contact patch would be tiny when the suspension compresses.

Gotta disagree. There us nothing hot about convex (rpf1 in 8.5 +30 fitment) wheels. The rears look dope but the fronts....no thanks.

Granted, the convex rpf1 (in 17x8.5" at least) has better brake clearance than the 17x9, but I doubt there's a big break kit hiding back there...

That is true, but it doesn't spoil the guys car. Still looks good. I'd wouldn't get that size myself though, for the reason you mention.
