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.

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.

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

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.
