if i were to run 17x8's all around, would it still be best to keep the 225/45/17 with +27 offset? or when 8's are run on the rear does it change? i just want a good setup that keeps the contact patch even and sits near flush with the fenders (of course sitting inside to keep from fender rubbing on the tires during suspension travel.)
this is just for now on stock fenders. eventually i am going to be running +30mm fenders front and rear and do 17x10 255/40/17 with +12 offset. at least that seems to be a good match for the +30mm fenders.

That should work for the 8" wheels and that's a good tire size to run, lots of choice. You have an S4 NA, there's no way in hell you need 10" rear wheels, it WILL be slower that way.

i just want the best setup i can get after i get the wider fenders, and would like to run 255 wide tires, when i get to that point the car will be in the 2100lbs or lower range. at the current time it weighs in at 2200lbs with 1/2 tank of gas. if 225 wide will be fine then i wont need to worry about that upgrade.

how would these fit:
The front wheels are 17x9 with a 5.95" backspace(+24mm offset)
The rear are 17x10 with a +20mm offset. The lug pattern is 5x4.5 (114.3mm).

For the 17x10 +offset will i need to run a spacer or anything?
and instead of pulling the crap out of my fender do you think i could run rear fenders? 30mm? or would i be better off just pulling them?

pull them.
Its not much of a pull. Its natural looking if you do it right.
Pull, Measure , Pull , Measure.
Use newspaper pull technique.
18x10 +5 rear no spacer is needed. Clears everything.
Whats your fronts look like?

If your running oversized dampers. i.e. Stance / Zeal , is around 52mm diameter.
17/18x9 +25 , there was 1-2mm of clearance in the front , from inboard wheel to coilover.
I just used a 3mm slip on. Never had problems.

biggest what, offset, diameter, width? People have fit 18's under stock fenders, I've even seen 19's on an FC with slightly modified fenders. Width and offset are the important factors. (and tire size)

I am getting a set of enkei NT-03+M wheels in 18x9.5 +27 & 18x10.5 +30, so I was just wondering if they will fit with +20mm front fenders and +30mm rear fenders?
I think I'm the tires will be 225-40-18 and 255-35-18 (I want a stretched look without going too crazy) And I have Tein s-tech springs
Thanks!!!
