Default Who said these would fit....?

Ok so I go tmy new wheels in and decided to try them on a buddies car since mine is still in the shop. Specs are below

17x9.5 +39 all around with 255/40/17 tires

Once the J's front and rear fenders get installed they should look a little better...lol

Enjoy

add some camber and roll/pull the fenders and you'll be fine lol

17x9.5 +39 is to conservitive for front and rear J's fenders. I had 17x9.5 +28 RE30s x4 on 255/40/17 and still had plenty of room so i decided to get 17x9 +22 x4 ce28s.

you definitely need to add some camber. My rears are a 17x9 +35, (yours would be equivalent to a 17x9 +33) and mine fit just fine. I even put them on up front with flared oem fenders and they fit just fine. More camber + more drop and it will definitely have the right stance.
