quick wheel fitment question
 
I am about to order wheels and just want to make sure I can get them to fit. they are a pair of rear 17x10.5 0offset.

My rear fenders have a pretty aggressive roll/pull. I am running a coilover with about -2.5 camber all around.

Thanks

10.5 0 is a tough fit. You will probably need more camber, or a huge pull with a 225 or smaller tire.

I've wondered this as well. Except I was wondering about a 10 with a 215/40/17

that small of a wheel, So I guess the only way I can run these is overfender which im not looking to do.

Im planning to daily drive these wheels and the car puts down 400whp so I dont think 215's are going to cut it lol.

Right now I have 17x9 +28 offset wheels and there is alot of clearance. What size wheel should I go with? if anyone has pictures of their setups that would be sweet.

my post is effed. dont listen to me

some really good 215's will grip like some crappy/cheap 235-255's. if you do run some 215's your speedo might read a little fast but Im sure you wont mind if you bought the wheels and then made your car fit them lol

will they stick out too far that it looks stupid?

I was planning to run 275 rear and 255 front lol, nitto nt-05.

I can also swap the rears when im at the track, I want the wheels bad, heres the link for them

This is how the car sits now with the 17x9 and 255 all around.

how is a wider tire going to affect speedo readings?


and no way are you getting 275s under there, even with over fenders

I meant 215/40/17 vs 235/45/17, 255/40/17 combo which is more close to stock overall diameter.

17x10 +18 with a 245-45-17(IE MONSTER TRUCK TIRES) from way back in the day.

dunno what camber is. the rear fenders were not pulled or anything.
