He who smokes bitches
I know it's probably been posted here, but searching through 124 pages will take too long
fn01r-c
17x9 +15 (30mm wide fenders up front)
17x10 +25
Are these the right offsets?
Thanks

Though, I guess the stock speedo cluster could be off by a little as well, about 5 mph down @ 80 mph. I guess it depends if you care to monitor your speeds on the highway to avoid tickets? Thought it miight be a consideration.
I posted the results in another thread.
On an off note, I find it funny when people think aspect ratios are absolute numbers. I had a friend who wanted 225's and 275's for some odd reason, but when I told him to run 225/45 and 275/40, he said, "naw man, I can't run a 40 series in the back! I don't want my rear tire to be smaller than my front tire!"
I promptly laughed.

Will 16x8 -1 offset front... and 16x9 +38 offset rims clear suspension on my 4 lug se? What will be an ideal drop retaing streetability for a daily driver if they do fit? What would a good tire size be in both front and rear as well?
yes i searched and found contradicting info. I figured rted can just chime in and we will be on our way.. oh and realistically i will have 20mm fenders up front and 30s for quarters. If i need spacers in the rear what is the appropriate mm?

are the spacers going to be dangerous because there is less of the stud being used? I have heard some bad things about spacers.
please set me straight.
Everybody feel free to chime in with opinions or attacks, thanks in advance.

Per black91n/a comment.
This only retains to slip on spacers.
The other type of spacer, uses the stock stud length and it has
offset longer studs, so this is the safest method. Heres a picture.
Unless your running longer factory location studs with slip on spacers.
You can run up to 5mm safely on stock studs.

Not necessarily, some wheels have thicker hubs than others. For instance with the Mustang wheels that I'm currently using as street wheels you can't get the desired turns of the lugs to be safe even without a spacer. So it's erroneous to say that 5mm is safe on stock studs. A more accurate way of saying it would be that 5mm will probably be safe on stock studs, as long as you have enough thread engagement.
No matter what you're running you should always make sure that you can get enough turns on the lugs to be safe, because who knows, maybe the studs are a little on the short side and the wheel has a thick hub, that could lead to a dangerous situation.
Those style of spacers will also only be safer if they're of high quality. If they're cheap Chinese knock offs bought off eBay, then what's to say that they're not using inferior studs? That will be much more dangerous than a slip on spacer and longer ARP wheel studs.

OK, I read through maybe 15 or 20 pages of this and got cross eyed, I want to run 17 x 8 and 17 x 9 (both +35 offset) with 235/45 and 275/40 and HKS coilovers.
I think that's ok but anyone care to confirm? I don't mind rolling fender lips but I don't want anything stretched.
