+0?! That doesn't look like 17x9 +0 to me, are you sure?

Yes,these are the lowest offset wheels I have had in the 4 sets of I have owned in 16 years, these are the most aggressive.

I think the angle and the stretch hide it well.

The angle does not show how far the wheel sticks out past the fender ZDan.

This angle shows the front wheel sticking out 20mm from flush. Hella flush

Well, damn, the earlier shot does hide the pokage. Wouldn't go 225/45 because not only wider, but taller. 235/40 might actually be a better bet, but from the looks of it you're at the limit already. Not a fan of hellaflush/poke/stretch at all, but if I were I would have gone with a wider wheel with some positive offset and run 235/40 or 245/40 for the same look with some actual tread width. Not that I think more treadwidth = always better, but having the wheels shoved way way outboard but with tires narrower than the now-quaint stock 1993 225mm tire widths...

^ If that snarky comment was directed at me you can take a hike.

My car has not been in my possession for almost 2 years as every system is gone though it and honestly comes last these days after family and work travel et al.

Back on topic we installed a 225 tire and it will work with a small pull.

Yeah. Sorry not sorry. If you're gonna post up your "hella flush" fitment on the internet, then brace for commentary.

Congratulations on squeezing a stock tire width on that ridiculous wheel fitment.
If you're dead set on ruining the car, get some damn over fenders already.
Or, sell those wheels and buy something functional.

Off on my hike then

another aspect that I maybe forgot to mention is that I wanted Te37's(sl or not). Blue TII, your fitment is what I would have gone for, and will go for with customs wheels, if I ever get another 7. fitting more wheel inside, getting a wider tire, and still stock(ish) fenders is the way to go. I "lost" tire width and wheel width(to the inside) because I wanted concave(+22 or better) Te37's.

or I might have to relearn everything If I ever go widebody
