10ae owners!!Look!! 17'' wheels

I have the 10ae 17'' rims and I cannot find any info on them.
I would like to run 275's in the back and 245's in the front... Can I get close to this on these rims?? does anyone know the sizes of these rims.. offset , width.. What would this do in respect to the fenders? Does anyone sell wide front fenders for this car? what is the widest I can run?

Thanks for everyones help.

The 10th AE wheels are the same size as any Turbo2 wheel, a 16x7 with a 40mm offset. Largest you ideally want to run is a 225 width.

Most brands of 225s should fit fine. There have been a few people that have reported problems, but alot of guys run 225s no problem. As for fitting a wider tire, this is a 7" wide wheel. 225 is really the limit of tire you can fit on there and still have a usable contact patch.

Yep, I run 225's with no problem. I think I have seen a few people run 245's on the rear, but with wider wheels, prob 8". Not sure of the spacers required and clearence issues. I suggest searching about it.

if you want to get those tire sizes you need less than a 35 offset for the front not to rub
