MB Battle Wheels and Stance GR+ Coil?

Thinking of getting Stance GR+ Coilovers and getting MB Battle 17x9 +30 all the way around. Would this be ok? What tires would I run front and back? Tried searching the wheel fitment thread for someone with a similar setup but didn't see anything.

front will need at least 5mm-10mm spacer, depending on suspension.
rear fits fine

Here is clearance on a +15 on the 9.5 version so you'll definately need a spacer even with 9s, the +30 offset will cause problems

See, FC WHEEL FITMENT THREAD. ALSO CHECK www.rimtuck.com for fc offsets.

inner clearance all depends on the suspension. different coils have different lower brackets.
my (modified) konis, for example, clear 17x10 +18 up front.

I am running 17x8.5 +30 w/ 255/40-17 on the front of my FC with JIC coilovers (works with FLT-A2s and FLT-TARs).

Fenders with lip rolled under and 2.75 neg camber (not enough to prevent outer shoulder wear, but maxed)

There would be room for the 17x9 +30 as well w/ same tire.

Some coil overs do not provide this much room though as it depends on how they build the lower mount.

One trick is to loosen all the hub carrier to strut lower mounting bolts and pull the hub to positive camber (down) and tighten. Now add negative camber at the strut top.

Another trick is to use an eccentric bolt (crashbolt) at the top strut lower mount to hub carrier position and dial in positive camber with that. Take out at strut top.

In the rear I run a 17x9.5+40 w/ 275/40-17 on stock fenders ~1.5 deg camber. you would be limited to 255/40-17 with the +30 offset to keep the outside of the tire in the same spot.

I had to further molest my fenders in order for it to clear with DOT-Rs and racing tire loads...

I could not get crash bolts to work on my FC when I had conventional struts in the car. The hub is nearly resting against the strut, giving you no room to adjust with the crash bolts.

I run 17X9 +24 with 235/40/17s up front. I ran these with and without coilovers. It may fit with the Stance coilovers but it will be very close. You will probably need a fender roll and a 5mm spacer as noted above.

MaxzPayne runs 17X9 +24 and 255/40/17 tires with Stance coilovers, so you can make it work.

Without negative camber, the front tires will rub the fender liner slightly on high speed compression. I run 2.75 degrees negative camber up front, and there is no rubbing at all. The rear is a non issue.
