fd fitment question

so i think i found a wheel i like. only issue is limited offsets. my car is lowered. koni yellow shocks and eibach lowering springs


17x10 +20 for the rears

17x9 +35 for the fronts. (i really dont want a 9" front wheel but its the smallest size they make)

would these work?

and i have no issues with rolling fenders

You'll need a fender roll for all of them

The fronts will be fine

The rears however are right on the edge of needing more than a roll. You may be able to get away with it on a really thin tire and some negative camber, but it'll be tricky.

Front: If you run a 235 tire depending on how low the car is you may not even need to roll. I had that size and offsets on my car for a few months and it did not rub.

Rear: agree with zeroG you are definitely on the edge of more than just a roll even with stretched tires.

The rear you should be able to fit a 255 with just a roll and a bit of camber without too much trouble, but looking at the power levels in your sig im thinking you will need more rubber. Stock body, 500rwtq and those wheel specs probably are not a good combination.

yeah the whole point of getting wider rims is to get wider tires. no point of getting a 10" rim and sticking a 255 on it. i just cant find a rim i like. and when i do find one. its like 600 a rim. craziness i tell you!

if you go with the 17x9 +35s all around you could probably fit a 275 on the rear, most 275/40-17s are approved for 9" width. I fit a 275/35-18 on a +45 with very light roll in the rear so I think that would work fine with a solid roll. What are you thinking for tires? Nitto NT05s come in that size as well as 255/40-17 that you could run on the front, they're a solid street/autox tire....

my enkei RPM2s look kind of similar and I dont think they cost all that much
alot of people on the forum use them
they are max 17x9 in the rear I think but the offsets are good
though I havnt bought wheels in almost a decade so i cant say what better new choices there are

17x10 +35 will fit with a 275/40/17 tire with a fender roll.
