Would 17x9 +35 fit around all 4 corners with stock fenders? How would it sit? Car is lowered in front with kyb agx + Racing beat springs and re-amemiya coilovers in the rear, so can only raise/lower the rear on demand unless I get some different coilovers for the front. Also what tire sizes would I need to run for this?

Edit: How about a set of 17x8+35front 17x9+34rear also? What size tire would I run on them?

Considering buying a set of rpf1s that are 17x8.5 +30 all around and putting my 225/45r17 Michelin pilot super sports on them. I'm about stock height and have not rolled fenders at all
Will I have clearance issues? Will I rub?

make sure 8.5 inch wheel will accomadate 225 tire. I have 215/50/17 up front on 7 inch wheel with 40 offset. No problem. Rears are 245/50/17. Tirerack.com has specs for all tires including rim width and overall tire diameter (u can buy from wherever .

New setup:

17x9.5 all around with 275/35/17. Had to pull the rear fenders and switch to Shine front fenders to make it work.

QC

I'm looking to buy 17x10, offset is 15, mostly because they only sell the color in that size

Will 235/40, in front and 245/40 in back fit? I live in Quebec, so stretching tires/camber is illegal... I want to know if it will be noticeable enough for me to get pulled over all the time. I will still do it but i will go with a smaller rim if i have to :p

Last edited by iLLennai; Jun 18, 2015 at 12:22 PM. Reason: added in offset and some rationality

Is there any way of fitting 17x9 +35 with 235/40/17 on the front without any spacers if I run fortune auto 510 coilovers? And if I do need the 10mm spacers like some have said, would I need extended lugs?

LOF the Shine fenders look great how was the fitment? I've read they require some persuasion?
Thanks Rikk

You can probably do that without spacers using the Fortunes. It is going to be close though, but I believe it will work ok.

The fenders fit pretty well. These didn't need much work, just some elongation of holes here and there, and a couple fender washers to get things spaced properly.

I don't like that the front fender radius is so low. It looks cool, but I don't want to destroy the fender if I go off track. I'm going to grind it higher to match the stock fender radius.

Perfect offset for 17x8.5?

So what I actually decided on are some Avant garde m240s. The buyer specifies custom offset and bolt pattern and whatnot, which is awesome.
I have a stock height vert, what kind of offset should I go with? Tires will be 225/45r17, because I just got them and I'm not about to waste another 600 bucks on tires when it's not necessary.
Tl;dr what offset should I go with for a 17x8.5 wheel at stock height?

Just picked up my first set of "real" wheels! 16x8 and 16x9 +33 all around. Have a 5mm spacer up front. What size tires should I do, obviously the 20540s look ridiculous. I'm thinking 225/50 up front, but they don't make 235/50s... 245/50 is a lot of tire. I was thinking about 245/45, but the diameter would be 4mm smaller than the front. Tire companies really hate 16s, apparently.

I decided to go with 225/45 up front, a little pricy, but they'll go better with the 245/45.

16s

16x 8-9 front, 16x 9-10 rears
Trying to run something this size with close to zero offset. I understand the rears would take these in stride but what of the fronts. Will they stick past fender? Theoretically, it'll clear suspension since offset is pushing the rim further out (to my knowledge). What would be the least amount of positive offset the fronts can handle, not only for this setup but in general.
Fc on coilovers, stock fenders
