Tried this guy on today and now I really want a set.

Cosmis Racing xt005r 18x10 +20. I'll probably go with the 17s when I buy them though.

17x9.5 +5 are on preorder and will be out in the next month or two. Now who knows if those will fit stock body? Maybe with camber and a pull?

Yeah same all around, that's the only size 17s will come in for now. And not sure on the tires. whatever will fit I guess.

you'll probably want a decently stretched tire with a 9.5 +5. In my experience, I had a 10+1 and it had mega poke. But I think with a decently stretched tire and max out the -camber (-3 or -4 depending on the coils) you should be fine. I'm sure someone has closer, but here is the 10+1

yeah 9.5 + 5 will be tough to fit under stock body up front. its doable with a pull in the rear no problem though.

Right now I got like -3.5 of camber up front I think, maxed out. I'd rather not have a lot of camber out back if I can help it. I wish they made wheels in less aggressive sizes. Or I suppose I could be a man and get overs.

Are you running spacers? If not I feel like there is no way 9.5 + 5 will fit stock fenders.

17x9.5 +5 will actually be easier to fit up front then out back :x

I've pushed both to the absolute limit, and the front will always allow you to run a lower offset wheel. The back tucks more, and squats more, so the lips of my wheels would ALWAYS smack my quarters. In front, travel isn't as much, especially when you're slammed. The tire will touch the top of the wheel well long before the lip of the wheel hits the fender lip.

Even now, my rears are at 17x9.75 -5 and hit/rub like a mother ******. was pulling off a 17x9.5 +0 with no trouble at all

You think I would have to run a lot of camber in the back then? Or would a good pull work? I hate rear camber.

I just recently picked up a set of rpf1 wheels and I got the rears to fit just fine but the front wheels won't fit without some kind of modification. These are my sizes..

Front: 255/40/17 on 17x9+45
Rear: 275/40/17 on 17x9.5+38

The front wheels are hitting the suspension. I have stock absorbers with Intrax lowering springs. I think spacers would definitely be required but how many millimeters is the question. Also, I have rolled fenders but don't know if that would be enough for that size front tires and wheel spec to fit.
