Does anyone read the stickies??
according to jimlabs excel fitment sheet in the sticky at the top of the forum for 17x8.5 a 38mm offset is about all you can get away with.

thats great....I imagine it does.
however, did they roll there fenders, run lots of negative camber, or running smaller tires?
I just don't understand why everyone is trying to push the fitment and risk body damage when you can get proper offsets that still look good with a deep dish look AND allow you to turn the wheel and not hit or rub anything.......

You'll end up running such a skinny tire that it won't make the wheels worth it. Get something around a +43 or +45. Then you'll be able to stick some rubber on them to make it worth it.

Or folks run coilovers and adjust their ride height to avoid hitting anything.
+37 is the lowest offset I'd recommend for an 8.5" wide wheel up front.
