Will they fit? Wheel fitment

17 X 9 +22 all the way around.

Will it fit, at least with coilovers, under stock fenders? Willing to stretch the front tires a bit.

Very slightly chance of being able to get some used for a good price...but I doubt it.

Yes, they will fit. To get an idea, look for threads where people install mustang rims on FC. They were 17x9 +24. Search for user Slava. He has pictures of 18x9 +17 for a more extreme fit.

Fit as in it won't rub, or fit as in the tires and wheels will actually fit under the fenders?

They will fit flush. I have 17x9 +26 w/ 235/45/17 FR and 245/45/17 Rear. I'm not slammed, and I rub the front during hard turns. Rears don't rub, but I rolled the fenders.

You'll need to do a roll, and a slight pull F and R if you don't want any rubbing. Or just raise your car up some.

There's pictures of mine in the "Pic N Specs" thread in the Non-technical section, close to the last page. I'm running ground control coilovers.

Rear looks great. But I guess I'm going to just have to save up and buy some new ones with the right size...

With a 22 offset I think it would just be too far out on the front. I don't want it to rub if the car is lowered.

My calculations indicate you would have to stretch a 225 on the 17x9 +22 to clear in front with the lips rolled under at the top and no camber.

With mild camber you could tuck 235 and race camber 2.5 deg+ you could tuck 245. Depending on tire choice ofc.

I figure I could always get them and just use them for the rear if the price is low enough...

Fronts are 17x9 (idk the offsets, but I'm pretty sure its in the 20's) and the rears are 17x10.5. Tire sizes are 215/40F 225/50R. I know thats an extreme stretch on the rear, I bought them that way. The car is on PBM coilovers and is not that low, but I have no running issues whatsoever.

Nice hood.

Since I don't want to go off and damage any rims I buy, I think I'll get some smaller wheels so I can have the rim protectors working properly. I can't really see any reason to get wheels that big if I'm going to run tires smaller than I've got on my stock 6" 15's.

You'd think drifters would take that in mind too, all considering
