Wheel Fitment Q??

I have an S4 with 25mm front wide body fenders and stock rear (for now), I have it lowered 1.9" front and 1.7"rear on tein flex. My question is not only will it fit but will it fit well or will the rear tires stick out too much? They dont have to be flush with the quarter panel but i dont want to lose the lip either. 17x9 w/ 31mm front and 17x10 w/ 35mm what tire combo would fit the best??? i know this is a tedious question but my brain hurts.

thanks

Those wheels will not fit period.
The offsets make them sit too far in, and it'll hit suspension components on the inside.
9" wide front you need to have max +20mm maybe down to +25 at the most.
10" wide rear you need max offset of +25mm.

On top of that, you cannot drop the car that low.
It induces too much negative camber in the rear which will eat tires in WEEKS.

A guy i know did the same thing and he bang for buck, bought the

FN01RC 17x9 +15 and 17x10 +35.

That should work. He gets them this week. Contact these guys to get good fitting wheels for custom bodied FC.
