I think if I do what I wanted it goes from the 17x8.5+35 that it is to 17x10.5+22. Might have to do to 17x10 to make it +28 or so. That should be alright. 0.5 in stagger at that point, not bad. If my math is right. I would like to avoid excessive camber wear, if possible. 265/40 is what I intended to run on them.

Racing Beat wheels, one of only 2 sets I know of in the country. Made by Racing Hart Japan for RB back in the early 90's.
Real 3-piece wheels, 17x8 front, 17x9 back, +35 offset. Fit like a glove, they were designed to fit the FD.
Don't get me started on what I went through to get the center caps!

What kind of tires are the 265s? Sadly it seems as though 265/40-17 is extremely uncommon... I see that Goodyear has an "Eagle F1" but I feel like you never really hear people talk about Goodyear? There is also the Bridgestone Potenza S007A that Tire Rack claims to have, but Bridgestone's website doesn't think exists.

I appreciate you bringing these wheels to my attention. At a bare minimum they were a less expensive way to test out these offsets and tire sizes. Ended up really liking them to the extent that i bought another set to put A7's on.

Thanks, Blue! I completely agree. I almost pulled the trigger on some Fikse or Volks, but ultimately I decided I didn't want to stress about cone marks, curb strikes, and pothole hits on a set of high end wheels.

I'm in the process of trying to roll my fenders and struggling to figure out how much is enough. I've never rolled a fender before.

I refurbished them when I got them and didn't bother with the stickers, it was a little busy with the stickers on 1 spoke and on the wheel lip as well.

Man... I'd love to. With Coronavirus, both adults working from home, and two kids under 3 in the house with no daycare I get out for a random highway blast or tune session maybe once a week in the evening if I'm lucky. Maybe once all this mess blows over I'll have a little more time. We could meet up at the first VMSC auto-x event... whenever that is going to be. I plan to be there.
Nice FD and wheels btw!
Certainly. I had never used a roller either. I would say they let you know when enough is enough. Mine kind of just... stopped rolling under and got stiff. Take a look...

@alexdimen can you post some pics of how rolled your fenders are and how you shimmed the fender liners?
