Anyone know a safe 17x? setup I can run on a fc lowered on coilovers? not slammed but just a decent drop. Without having to roll fenders, they have rust.

I was told to run a 17x9 +35 255 and 17x8 +25 235 for a good stock body fitment. The fronts might rub depending on tire choice. This is what I ordered in some XXRs, but been on back orde for 3 months!

I'm going to be riding on Isis coilovers and I'm really digging square g6 wheels they are 17x9 +15 all the way around. I understand that I will need 30mm fenders up front, just wondering what is the optimum tire size for both the front and back?

So, after waiting 6 months for my back ordered XXR 531s, they have finally arrived. I been having an issue with lug nuts though. I finally got some muteki that may work. The socket that came with it won't fit all the way onto the lug nut due to the 531s design(apparently this is common with XXR) But I was told they work, we'll see. I'm going to test fit them sometime over the next few day and will post pics and when I do mount tires. Overall, the wheels look good. My only complaint is the black chrome isn't loud enough. It's kind of light compared to other "black chrome" that I've seen. 18x9.5 +35 rears 17x8 +25 fronts.

Anybody rocking a 17x9 +30 wheel? I've got an extra set of Varrstoen's laying around. Trying to decide what tire size/possibly spacer combination would look/fit nicely or if I should just put these back on my DD?

Those will fit fine and pretty flush. You'll need a 5 mm spacer up front.

I run 17x9 +24 and 255/40/17 all around.

235/40/17 will fit with nearly any suspension setup with a light front fender roll. 255/40 needs front and rear fender roll, and coilovers.

Might be an issue if you have stock style aftermarket suspension - where the spring coil gets wider towards the top. The wheel/tire might rub on that.

Should fit beautifully though if you have a 'coilover' type setup where the spring is a constant diameter. I've run 17x9 +24 to +17 with no issues.

Front: 17x8 +35 offset - w/Falken tires 235/45/17
Rear: 17x9 +35 offset - w/Falken tires 265/40/17
I'm currently on PBM Max Pro Coils and with stock fenders.
Will this fit?

I swapped out my front 17x8 +25 for 17x8 +35 and they fit, still have the 18x9.5 +35 rears. Tires are 235/45 and 275/40, they just came in, hope to get them mounted soon and will post pics and fitment.

I've personally seen 18x9 +35 on all four corners with coilovers and they fit perfectly.
