Thumbs up Flush 17" FC fitment??

Hello, Im a new FC owner looking for some basic wheel fitment info. I saw the "Official" fitment thread, but it didnt give a lot of info on max offset/width, just what would fit with stock fenders.

Sooo, Im looking for basic specs on what can be fit decently under rolled (maybe pulled rear) stock FC fenders. Willing to deal with some camber but nothing too drastic, also stretch is fine to an extent but not hipari.

From what I gathered Im looking at 17x9 ~+15 front with a 225 and 17x10 ~+20 rears with 235? Sound about right?

TIA

those wheels will stick a little past the fenders, but with the tires should fit fine with a healthy roll (or slight pull)

Werd, thats kinda what I figured. I am looking at CR Kai's but the biggest they go is 17x9 +17, I figure that would be perfect for the front and maybe a 10mm spacer in the rear it flush it out.

Front: 17x9+20

Rear: 17x10+20

That'll be flush-ish depending on your tire sizes and level of roll/pull. You can go further, but that's easy FC fitment.

Be weary of fittment info with rolled/stretched fenders and low offsets. Not everyone rolls or pulls as much as the person running that setup might have done. Also, most people won't mention that many of these setups are bound to rub on occasion when going over bumps and the like, especially if the car's been lowered. Food for thought.

Well, I have no wheel liner. I never rub driving on literally destroyed roads from over salting over this past winter. I have literally have fingernail clearance between the tire and a fender. As I go over bumps, under compression, it tucks ; therefore no rubbing. Word of advice, drive slow over shitty roads, and don't go 4x4 battle mod over speed bumps. Just be careful. People think they can plow into uneven road surfaces/pot holes like they are driving their moms SUV and than complain about being too low for street (clearly when you still have like 3 inches of wheel gap)

As far as running low offsets with various rolls/pulls. . Figure out how much you need to pull/roll. Get a jack underneath the arm and compress, and figure it out from there. You can always get it to fit. Don't be scared

You can always get a bare minimal stretch, nothing crazy or UNSAFE. Oh heavens no.

Not my car, but I saved the pics because they're super flush with stock body.

Anyways the specs on these wheels were:
18x9 +20
18x10 +30

Not sure about the exact tire sizes, but it's only a moderate stretch (225/235).
