^ Do you think a 17x9 +49 would work all around? Just asking based on your comment about the 17x9 +45 looking sunken in.

I think it'll work but higher the offset, the more sunken in it'll be.

With a 17x9 you can easily run +38 to +50 in the front. The back you can go down to probably a +25 if your fender lip is rolled. Take into account the tire as not all equal sized tires are the same size...

Offset are an estimate as the guy who built them got the measurements wrong and I'm going off where my old wheels used to sit at.

Hey, how much of a guess are the offsets?
I am going for 18x10.5 ET22 in the front with 265/35-18 and feed fenders. but I'm not so sure after looking at yours with 7mm "wider" wheels, and smaller tires.
I didn't plan on having more than 1.3deg camber, but was hoping for flush fitment.

Morten

Edit: Nice wheels by the way

your front guess is most likely on point, rear I don't think so. They look more aggressive, like 12-5 I would say.

18x12 -5 and 275/35 ... first size I tried and this would never tuck under pulled stock fenders unless you go full retard on the camber.

THIS is a bad *** fitment.

Assume the fenders are rolled (not pulled) all around, how is the clearance when/if you go lower?

I was going off the setup on my old wheels.

This was 18x12 et20..



I used to run a 20mm spacer making it et0..



So looking back at that, I'd say they're ET0

You are correct, I have rolled the front and rear fender lips under. If one used 285 with that little stretch the rear could be stock.

BLUE TII's FD Auto-X fitment-

18x11 +45 Forgestar F14 deep concave 22.5Lbs (Thank you Rishie@AutoRnD)
295/30-18 Hankook Ventus TD Z221 C70 compound
-2.4 deg Front camber
-1.2 deg Rear camber
coilovers
Tripoint Swaybar with 1" shorter torsion tube

It has full range of suspension motion without rubbing.
I had to order shorter tube for the front swaybar or the tires rub the arms at full steering lock.
Coilovers required (very very close front, ~1/8" rear).
Limited rear toe possible with stock trailing arms.

I will have to get more spring rate if I went lower (11k/11k now) and should anyways.
