Wheel fitment question
 
I’m looking at buying a set of wheel that are 17x9.5 +15 front and rear, not on coil overs but have lowering springs, biggest concern is the fronts and wether this wheel will clear the coil and fender!

Anyone who who has input please chime in

What car? What tire?

If FC you will have a hard time clearing the fender with a 235 or wider tire.

Ahh yes guess that’s good info to mention, it’s a 91 so yes fc and 235/40 was what I was thinking of running in fronts

Those deifinitely won't work up front.

If the fenders were rolled do you think so? If not what setup would you suggest?

Edit: I'm not sure a fender roll would cut it. You'd need oversized fenders. I think +15 is pushing it in the rear too.

17x9+24 is about the most aggressive you can go with stock rolled fenders and struts with 235/40/17s. It will work in the back with no fender roll and look good. Tires are going to rub the inner fender liner over large bumps at speed

I’ve done it before.
