The fronts are a bit too much for me, but can someone take a guess on these wheel specs, or does anyone actually know?

Maybe you know if he runs spacers up front? I have a set of R17 10j ET15 wheels and i'm afraid that fronts won't fit or i will have problems with fitting or it hitting suspension on full lock while drifting. Would they fit or i should search for narrower wheels for front?
Sorry if it is obvious answer but i have experience only with Nissans.

I'm going to be mounting a set of 17x8.5 +34 offset wheels f & r. I assume this would fit fine with my Tein Flex type coilovers. Any tire recommendations as far a size is concerned?

You will probably need a spacer (like 99% sure). I have Tein Flex as well (different springs), and 17x8 +35 all around. They come REALLY close to the front suspension.

Just a heads up.

Ok, luckily I have some laying around. Thanks for the heads up.

That's gonna be cutting it close, might need a slip on spacer. What's the application? I mean you could rock a 205 if you wanted for SUPAH TYTE HERRAFRUSH lol. But probably between a 235-255 should be good, probably a 40 or 45 series. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
