Just for kicks, I swapped the fronts with the rears, and the 10" up front with 255 fits with no problems.

So for anyone looking for that concave look all around, 17x10 +35 fits with no issues, and you could go 255 up front and wider in the rear.

 

The car's lookin' good man

 

actually he is right.

9.5 and 10 are concave face, regardless of offset.

 

 

By "fits", do you mean you can physically mount them on the car without hitting anything? Or do you mean, you actually drove around, entered driveways, hit some hard corners, and they didn't hit anything?

Just about any wheel will "fit" while the car is parked in the driveway.

 

I drove around for a good while with my front and rear wheels swapped. Lock to lock it clears with room to spare. I did some spirited driving and ripped some tight corners trying to get it to rub, but I never could get it to. My driveway is pretty steep and on a hill and I have to angle a lot just to not scrape the front lip.

I'm on Tein S-techs and stock R1 struts.

 

i dont have pics of mine yet. i have to go 17x10 all around because the non concaved ones look like ****.

probably one of the best bang for the buck wheels out there.

 

I might look into 17x10 +35 all around.

 

I should have them on by today, so I'll post up some pix soon.

 

too bad the front looks like ***. I used to want a set too until I realized it woudl look nasty up front.

 

I take that back did not see your post about putting concave in front. Looks sick will have to save up some cash!

 

might as well post here too, heres my 17x10s up front. only issue i had was rubbing the fender lining which i removed. im in the process of going lower with new coilovers but i need to roll my fenders a lot more before i drive with it alll the way down. i am going to use this size on all corners.



dont quote me on this but i think all the 10s and 9.5s have the same concave regardless off offset. didnt get a good look but a local guy has 17x10+35s on a 240 and it looked just as good minus the weak offset for that particular car. i have the +12s thats what im comparing it to.

 

Do you have 18x9.5 or 17x10? That's pretty crazy with +12s all around, now I'm jealous and need lower offsets lol. I see you're on the same tires I am, Federal 595, I got mine for like $60 a piece!

Do you have any more pix? I'll post some pix up tonight if I can get a camera.

 

me too these tires a great. and unlike every other tire near that price these are really freaking good tires.

the reason mine work on here i only have 235s on. no fender liners. slight roll but im going to roll it more and pull them still. its not going to be so easy depending on what your tire sizes you want to use. if you want a full size tire dont even think about a really low offset.

 

My driveway is really uneven, so the car sits funny in my driveway.



Fenders are not rolled in the rear.



No rubbing up front either.

 

very nice!! post more pics with the whole car...

 

Did you do a fender roll up front?

 

it amazing what people say "fit"

heres mine on stock suspension, 17x9 +43 all around 245x40 tire:

 

Hmm some 17x10 ET35 all around would look nice. The question is just how is it to drive?

 

Alright, I've been looking wheels for a while also, and would like an opinion. I know the 18x9.5 with a +45 offset will fit the rears no problem with 265/35-18 wrapped around those wheels. My question is can I run that all around? I know 265 is pretty wide, and I'll probably have to roll the fender, but will I have to roll by a lot? Am I hurting performance doing this? I heard of guys running 18x10 with 285/30-18 all around and was wondering if the set up I'm thinking of is too much. I know 17x9 with 255/40-17 will work all around, but I want that concave look, but at the same time I'm worried about function as much as form. If the fender has to be pulled too much, how will the feed front fender work with it?

 

Looks good BTW...

 

Just to let you know, 5Zigen no longer makes the 18x9.5" +45. =(

 

DAMN! I guess 17x9 all around with 255/40-17s. No rubbing or rolling with that right Tyler?

 

Enkie makes their NT03 in 17x9.5 +44, so would that work with the 265/40-17 all around? HEHE!

 

I just found my absolute favorite rims for a crazy deal, so I want to change wheels now, but I don't have the cash. If anyone is interested in my current wheels and tires, they can make an offer. I'll take around 1200.
