I also have a BBK from SBG coming. So I'm concerned about clearing this front BBK.
Any advice on whether MF10 17x8.5 +59 or 17x8 +45 would be better for my front setup (clearing BBK and requiring less fender mods)?


I decided I didn't want to take on rolling the front fenders so I cancelled my order with Kings (could easily regret this!) But definitely give Scott @ Kings a call or drop an email to Kings if you are still hoping to get 17x9 square.

i'm not sure what wheel will fit a BBK and allow you to leave your front fenders unmolested....maybe a 17x8 +45 RPF1 but you might need to run some camber and a smaller tire. To leave your front fenders unmodified, you'd probably have to run a 7", 7.5" or 8" wide wheel and there aren't many wheels that have a lot of brake clearance in those sizes with the right offsets.

Yeah, I think you're right. BUT I happened to get lucky with my first aftermarket wheel selection of Enkei PF01. I'm running 17x8 +50 (215/45R-17) in front and 17x9 +60 (245/40R-17) in the rear. And I already know that the fronts will clear this SBG BBK.

As such, I decided to leave well enough alone and save myself the fitment unknowns associated with the MF10s. BUT I really did warm to the MF10s despite them being bronze. To all those who have waited for so long and did pull the trigger: ENJOY!

i was in the same boat as you. initially ordered the square 17x9 +42 but decided to get 17x8 +45 front and 17x9+42 rear. the face on the wheels are the same so I didnt see any reason for 17x9 in the front. I will be running a 225F 255R. I didnt want to roll my fenders but the s2k fitment MF10's just dont look aggressive enough.
