Rims and tires for Rotary Extreme Wide Fender
I'm looking for rims and tires that will fit rotary extreme wide fender. I'm looking for 17" x 9.5" all around. Does anyone know it will fit? And what offset I should get.
Second, I need to choose some tires. My car is in San Diego. It doesn't rain or snow here. So I can run summer tires all year long. I want the best traction for street with ok wear resistance. Should I get 275/40/17, or 255/40/17, or other size? What are some good option that has those size? Kumho MX, Continental Sport Contact 2, Dunlop Sport 9000, Pirelli P-Zero, Bridgestone Potenza RE750, and what else? I want the best bang for the buck.

With the right offset/backspace/pad height, you don't need a fender kit to fit 9.5 wides x 17s all around with 255/40-17s. With rolled fender lips, you can fit 275/40-17s all around with 9.5 wides, although 275s really like to be mounted on 10 wides--right, Pete LOL ?

I want to buy the wide fender for its look. So 9.5 definately fit? I think 275s are for 9-10.5" wide rims, where as 255s are for 8-9.5" wide rims. Is 255s too skinny for those massive 9.5" rims? Also, we kind of offset should I be looking at?
