17x8.5 +20 and 17x10 +20 255/40/17 FIT?
I am looking for some street rollers for my FC.. I am lowered on Stance coilovers and am currently running 17x9 all around (TSW Nurburgring)..
I want to run a staggard setup for the street and put the TSW on slick/track duty..
Can I run a 17x10 +20 without fender contact in the rear? How about with an 17x8.5 +20 up front. This car is a track car but I do drive it on the street.. I need the wide tires in the back due to the Power to weight of the car, and the style I want are only available in 17x10 for the rear which I actually like anyway...
Current Setup...

Those fronts will work. Rears will poke out, but will work if the car is high enough.
What tires are you going to run in front? 17X9.5 in the +38 ish range is about the biggest rim you can fit under the stock rear fenders if you want to run appropriately sized tires.

Man I really want to get these but want to stay stock body..
The other option is a 17x9 all around with a +27 offset... But I don't think those sit right either..
ANyone know>?

Why don't you bring the car over and try my Work Vsxx 17" staggered rims on one side.
Sold the FC and the rims are just sitting here.....
If I remember right here is the setup:
Rear 17x9 has 245's or 265's Advans
Front 17x8 has 225's Advans

I almost forgot about that... I have half the car torn apart right now, but maybe I just make an offer on the setup... I know those fit.
That will work about perfect with 255/40/17 all around. I have 255/40/17 all around on 17x9 +24s.
You will need a couple degrees of front camber, (I run-3 degrees up front) and measure to make sure you have coilover spring clearance as well.
Pics of my car, the wheels sit great. Actually +27 in the rear would be better.
