Wheel offset for 17x9 rims?
Can one fit 17x9 rims under stock rear fenders without them sticking out or rubbing? If so what would the ideal offset be? Last time I searched for info on wheel offsets for the FC I never really found anything useful, any links would be appreciated too

well, it's not sticking out too bad grip, but still a little more than I would want to, I guess I don't understand offsets though, I would have though +25 would stick in more and +35 out more, but it seems to be the opposite?

I think by weight shifting he means body roll.
You can always PM Rishie (ARD-T2) for any wheel or suspension questions. Heh, He's the resident 'wheel guru san', he owns a wheel/suspension/JDM goodie shop (Automotive RnD in the SF bay Area) and he also sold me the RPF1s in the pic I posted.
Not to mention he's a cool, honest, and knowledgeable guy.

on any car, you want to have a wider track. for example, wider track(with less offset) on front will negate understeer.
but if your tires are sticking out farther than your fender permits to do, it is a dangerous situation.
by weightshifting i meant, compression of the shock via weight transfer when cornering.
with tire sticking out the fender, there is a good chance fender biting into the treads.
wouldn't be a problem in rain or snow, but dry grippy surface, fender will bite into the tire tread.
