Would 17x9 +23mm fit FD?
Only have 1 pair. Have to purchase another pair brand new.
If 17x9 +23 fits, what is the recommended size for the other pair?
I wish to use same size tires all round so i can rotate.. something like 255/40/17.
thanks expertsssss

hey plaguepunx,
i only have 1 pair of ce28n 17x9 +23mm. its good to hear i can fit 255/40 at the rear (or with 235/40 at the front).
i still need to purchase the other pair. what do you recommend for the wheel width/offset and tires size?
It seems like i have no chance fitting 17x9 +23mm with 255 at the front..
thanks

Thanks for reply.
I only have 1 pair of ce28n in 17x9 +23 - since you say it will fit fine with 235.
What is the width n offset of the OTHER PAIR you would recommend me to get?
Looks like i can't use 255.. geez.. i am really confused now. My other thread said no problem even with +17 or +25mm
Thanks.

i personally wouldnt do a 235. i have 215 federals (which is closer to a 225 in most other brands) on a 17x9+17.
i just wouldnt even try OVER a 235.
for the rears if you want something wider go higher with the offset like a 17x9+35 you could do your 255s just fine. probably could go lower but thats just being safe. roll all 4 just to make it easier.
but in my opinion i would do something like a 17x10 in the higher 20 offset range with the 255 so it matches the look of the front better. just a tighter fit. but unorthodox wheel fitment isnt the best idea if you need to ask either. i dont like people going by what i say

ok.. i take ur advice as
17x9 +23mm with 225 or 235 at the front
17x9 +35mm with 255 at the rear
for 17x9 the next offset below +35 is +23.
hey don't ppl use lower offset to run wider tires at the rear? how come i am having higher offset for wider tires?

theres a ton of room in the rear to go in. lower offsets and wider wheels are going to stick out more, which is bad for some people i guess.
my advice is based on actual experience. the rear isnt as an eggresive fit so i worry it wont match the front which bothers me. that size is just a gaurentee fit really
you probably can go a bit lower in back. but if a 23 is the next down the 255 might not work as well in the rear either. check out the offsets available in a 17x9.5 or 10. both of which you can still use a 255, and will look a lot better.

then again is that one guy with the 17x10+25 x4 fn's running a 255 back there?
if so using that as a refrence be the judge of it yourself because the fit of a 17x9+23 wont be too far off. better yet you need to just put some tires on your 2 and test fit them and test it all out yourself.

17x9.5 comes in 15,22,28,35,40 and 47.
17x10 only comes in 15 and 45..
17x9.5 +22 probably best match the look of 17x9 +23? rear shd hav a lower offset i guess.
so i can try 235/40/17 front and maybe with 255/40/17 rear now?

I guess the best bet is ask more question around or I suggest running the small offset in the front and bigger for the rear. The way you want is like a stagger look and it will look nice on FD for sure. Well with 17x9 I suggesst get 225 front and 17x9 with higher offset get for the rear with wider tires. like 265 or soemthing like that, main concern is u dont' want to rub your fender. good luck
