17x8+0 front and 17x9+19 rear ---- on a drop where I only have about one finger worth of wheel gap.

I think I wouldn't have a problem on the rear ... but the front im unsure

Or if the front is a problem I can get a set that is
17 x 8 + 7 on the front and 17 x9 + 19 on the rear

I assume you have a widebody because from the little I know about wheel fitment on a stock FC those will not fit with stock fenders.

they could work with stretched tires, and m aybe a little camber.
think 205F and 225R

This from the guy who says 255's fit on stock fenders up front. Josh's definition of fit is a little more extreme than some. (I need a good stickpoke smiley).

At the drop you're talking about, and at reasonable camber levels (1-2 degrees on the street), your front wheels will stick out about 30-35 mm and your rears about 15 mm. If you go widebody it'd work but then I'd tend to suggest you go wider wheels to begin with (assuming you're tracking this and/or making enough power to justify it).

they do fit! kinda. the 255s fit on 17x8 +30. 17x9 +24 pushed them out too far. and i like rolling (shrug)

Better off with the +7 up front. Probably still going to need a roll. +30 is more of an ideal offset for a 8" wheel up there.
