looks perfect for stretched tires like 235 front and 255 rear at most.

but with a nice and fat 255 front and 275 rear they will be hitting the fenders for sure.

nice wheels

Just ordered Federal tires 595 235/40 and 255/40s.

Only $288.00 picked up and they're supposed to be damn good tires!

Looks awesome! Now you have to get a new camera and take some good pics . Do you think you can fit 255/40 front and 275/40 rear with a fender roll?

Those look great!

I saw some people having trouble understanding offset concepts in this thread so I thought I'd post this diagram ...

Those tire sizes would fit with a fender role except i believe the back would be 275/35. Not sure but it's too late and i need sleep.

Wheels look great, I've always like the looks of them . Just thought I'd mention that my dad has the same contact patch on stock wheels----245s at each corner.

I was wondering why you did not get the 17x9 with the 43 offset? That would give you a little bit more fender clearance.
If you were to put 275s in the rear do you think it would rub. My car sits a little bit lower in the rear than your car. From your pics it looks like the frim is pretty much flush up against the rear quarter panel. I am debating if i should go 17x9 all around or run 17x10 in the rear. I just dont want the rears to rub.

Because he cares more about looks than performance or fitment.

I wanted to do the lowest offset possible with the tire sizes I was going to run so I could get the rim as close to the fender as possible. I have plenty of room in the front, and could run a 255 no problem. 275s in the rear might be pushing it, but I could do a 265. It's a 255 in the rear and it doesn't rub at all and I didn't roll the fender. The suspension doesn't normally compress enough in the rear to even tuck the rim, but on driveways, it clears the fender.

Does anyone know if the 18x9.5 +45 is still available. I'd love to see this setup on all fours. I've been trying to pick wheels for a LONG time now and these keep catching my eye. What size tire would be good for this setup?

i'm guessing those are the 10's on the back of that black FD above?

i still think the wheels on the silver one on the first page look the best.

Anyone know the rim and tire numbers for the rear of the blue car on the first page?

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I like that look.

you are very wrrong on that fact, on these particular wheels they do not use the thickness of the hub to determine offset the use the spoke itself that is why you end up with the concave face like that, its just the same as having two two piece wheels with different offsets , lower offset creates more lip
