its a good offset to clear the insides, and look nice. fitment with fenders totally depends on tire size and camber. you'll probably clear with like 215s and camber plates, but thats a bit of a stretch.
with any decent amount of rubber, you'll want wide front fenders, and possibly pull the rears a little. (decent meaning like 245's)

I'm sorry, I just realized I didn't specified. This is for the rear only, I have Tein coilovers and the rear camber bar so, can I run 255's on that and get away with minor fender rolling?

17x9+11 should be fine on stock metal in the rear. I run a 17x10+20 and it's decently flush on stock metal... just rubs the letters off the tire sidewalls.


Now can anyone answer my question?

How about 18x9 0 offset in the front with a 215/40 and 35mm overfender. Anyone run that before. I'm trying to guess my fender clearance.

When that car was for sale the owner never listed the offsets but the wheel sizes were
17x8.5 Fronts
17x10 Rears

Those are Foresight Fenders 30mm fronts and 35mm rears.

^omg no!!!
yes they fit, but stick out a little. you'll want 20mm front fedners and roll/pull the rears. or just stretch tires, and/or run lots of camber.
here they are with 245F and 275R, 1 degree camber all around (i'm now at like 2.5 up front)

you'd have to run a decent stretch. i would guess 225/45/17 Front and 245/40/17 Rear is about the widest you could use on stock fenders (still gotta roll inner lip)

They are 17x9 +24 and 17x10.5 +27. you could prolly find other cars with similar sizes/offsets in this thread.

if you want a proper (yet agressive) alignment, you'd be better off with 17x9 all around, on like 235's. lots of camber in front, 1 degree in back.

Just double checking

Will this fit:

17x9 +25 all around
Panspeed overfenders + roll
255/40/17
Stance coilovers

i'd like to run without an overfender, but if that's required, then I'll get one.

Its going to be close to the coilover up front. I'm running 17x8.5 30mm offset up front and I clear by 1/8" of an inch, you will be about 1mm closer.

You might clear the fenders all around with 255s and no overfenders, I'd try it first and then buy them if you need them. Your definitely going to need a lot of camber up front.

I think you'll hit coilovers with the 7 +40 up front and that size tire.

265/40 is really hard to find

Have you done a test fitment?

Thanks for the quick reply.
No I haventt done a fitment with rims yet? I really need to order tires soon.

I've found some great falkens at 265/40 (265 x .40 =106)for the rear.

For the front would it be better clearence with a 215?

If so, in the front should I go with:

215/45( 215 x .45 = 96.75)
*or*
215/50 (215 x 50 =107.7)

Im guessing 215/50 as the height is almost identical to the rear height.

Sorry if these are newb ?'s. Ive had 15x6 on the front and rear of my rx7 for the past year and I've never dealt with seperate tire sizing for fronts and rears. I want this to look sick when I lower my ride. I cant wait to get these rims/tires on!!!

I think the fronts will either be 1mm into my coilovers or just clearing. I test fit a 17x9 +42 and with a 5mm spacer it still rubbed the threads on the coilover. With both my 5mm spacers it was fine. Technically I should have 7mm more clearance with the 10J +22. Also it is an 18 so it will be higher up the threads most likely giving it more clearance. The rears will stick out 5mm out of the fender. I think.

Anyone else running fitments like this?

equips have really low disc, so you will prob need spacer for the calipers in front.

the rear i think you will need 50mm at least.

which i have and would consider selling or trading for 30mm

and i saw these today on yaj, ahhaha.
