and a 17 x 10 +15-0 offset rear on 10" wheel and 275/40R17.
What kind of wheels? Are you looking for stretch-o-drift-tyte fitment or grip fitment?

205 is a baby stretch on a 8.5 have you looked? Its better to have a little stretch on the front to contour to the finder there is not a lot of room to roll it. I'm contemplating 10s all around, now thats something to calculate poindexter. You'll be fine... Most people think that if they do even the lightest stretch there tire is going to fall of. and a 225 on a 8.5? I think your going to need to roll your fender ether way. Plus I thought that wheel fitment (in general) was to get rid of the wheel gap from the stock rims to shape out the car.

and with the spacers they will sit nicely under the wide fenders, i believe they are 30mm.. what spacers would you recommend for flush fit. also what size tires would you recommend?
thanks for all the help i have trouble with all this stuff, figuring it out slowly

Should be flush with that spacer I mentioned at 0 camber (if you're using the 17x10 +20). You'll need a bigger spacer (not sure which) if you're going for that "hella flush" look with camber and stretched tires. If not, you can try 255/40/17 up front, if not 275/40/17 (if you don't mind the increased sidewall height)

I'm planning on running 16x9 +20 in the front and some 17x10 +15 in the rear does any one have a pic of how this would look or know how it would look will the wheels poke, sit flush or still be sunk in the fender?

thanks for the help, i ended up getting 17x10.5 +27 and have 15mm spacers. nothing is on yet. i was thinking about going 245/40/17 or is that too small? the car is my daily; in the future i plan to track it but i expect to have another set of wheels and tires for that.
btw thanks for all the help macz. much appreciated!
