Volk Rays TE37 17" x 8.5 9.5 +40 (FD3S)

Looking at buying a set of Volk Rays TE37 17" x 8.5 9.5 +40

Will a +40 offset be too much for the fd?
I have Tein Type Flex Coilovers and feed front fenders.

Thanks.

you can also enter some of the numbers here and the site will give you a rough of an idea of how the wheels will fit vs the current

I'd say it depends on your tires.
I run 18 x 10 +43 on the rear.
285 tire width gets cut, barely (no rolling) ... but I'm fairly sure a 275 would be fine. I know a 265

I'm running Volk GTN's btw (not that it matters much)
Also, if you're running a +40 offset, that should be far enough from the fender (considering you're only running 9.5")
