Will a 17x8.5 +35mm fit in the front on stock fenders and suspension? I know it will fit in the back.

9" front would need around a +15mm offset, if you got the fenders to cover them.

255 wide tires would not be a problem.

10.5" wide with +15mm offset in back with a 295 wide tire clears the inner suspension, but you'll need wide fenders back there.
-----------------------------------------

I got the info from RETed. So with 30mm front fenders and 30mm rear overfenders, will this setup sit flush with the fenders?

Like fc3spro say

"Minimum offset" = for those going for the flush look; pushes wheel toward the outside flush with the fender

Handles like an Enzo yo! Scrub radius! Bump steer! Roll center!



CJ, your car is rousing.
how low is your car from the ground, you have any more picture for your ride height? =)

Front: 18x8.5 +25
Rear: 18x9.5 +25

This offset is it perfect to have the wheel flush with the fender ?

What is the perfect tire size to put on this wheel with stock suspension.

Thanks all !

I would run 245 F / 265 R but you might have some problems fitting the tire in the front.

Btw, Where's the best place to get poutine?

ok guys i need a quick answer... i'm about to order my wheels and i have just one question...

for the fronts with a STOCK fender (able to roll if needed) will a 17x8.5 +37 wheel with a 225/45R17 tire fit

or would i be better off to get a 17X8 +31 wheel with the same size tire?

what would fit better and look good (flush with fenders and what not)

on the rear i have 17X9.5 +35 wheel with 265/40R17 tire

wheels are SSR professor SP1's in case you wanted to know and car is a 89 turbo II

thx,
-Jeff

I found some cheap 15" mustang wheels to mount my r-comps on right now.

They're 15x7 with a +24 offset
My tires are 225/5/15
According to FC3Spro I should have a +25 offset.

I'm on stock T-II/GTUs Suspension.

I'm just wondering will they rub or be Okay?

Will I need to roll the inner lip on the fender?
