Question need help with wheels

Originally i was gonna post for people to put pics of their wheel size and offset and a pic if they could but i guess i will just get to the point. I have a S4 and im looking to get some new wheels. Im gonna do a widebody conversion soon and i want the wheels to fit with the body. Front fenders are a 20mm and the rear is a 30mm. I dont want to exceed a 17" wheel. OK so what would work best with this new body kit and not have rubbing. I tried using the offset calculator but i cant figure it out. What wheel size and offset should i be looking for on the front and rear? Spacers would be ok so post up the sizes and if spacers are required. Also a tire size if there will be a problem with that. thanks in advanced

PS: pics would be very helpful also, but not necessary.

I'd go with a 17x8 in the front and a 17x9 or 17x10 in the back... Just gotta get the right offset... If you read through the thread enough, you'll find the offset you need... Or PM someone with the same kit and ask them what they're running...

version select kit is the same as the GP sports kit and is the most WHORED out kit for the FC. Search and there are plenty of people with this kit. I can think of at least 3 people of the top of my head with this kit and wide body.

Most likely you going to have to run a 17x8 +10-25 in the front and a 17x9 or 10 with also a low offset. +38 isn't going to work for you. Those are offsets for a stock fender.

and also, the Black Racing N1s are heavy as heck. I had a set and sold them off. Look great, but do nothing for performance.

why? you should be the one searching..

and you shouldn't need wheel sizes and offsets if you're smart enough and know your stuff.
