Regamasters 17x9+18 square setup

Hi Folks,

Looking to pull the trigger on a square set of regamaster's 17x9+18. Car is mainly for street and hopefully autocross soon enough. I would like to run 255/40 all around. Stock fenders and going to be mounting M2 Advanced Double Adjustable coilovers soon.

My question is: Should I have any trouble with the aggressive offset? Could I potentially run some small spacers up front?

Thanks in advance,
Deniz

Too aggressive offset with 255 tires.

Would be possible if you had an FC, but this will likely not work with the FD.

You can run 255's in the back, but you'll need a big roll and 235's in the front.
Here is a similar setup:

Thanks to all for the input. From what im understanding and what I've read on the forums, its not the width that is a problem but more so the offset.

I am looking at another set which would be 17x10+40 rear and 17x8+25 front. Would these fit nicely under stock fenders?

I would like to keep the stock body as much as possible and avoid any rolling/ pulling. However, if it must be done can someone with some experience direct me as to cost and issues that are common with rolling/ pulling?

Thanks again
