if you want something that will sit flush with the fenders, then just get the 17x9 +22. They look flush to me. Getting the wheels to sit flush with the fenders will definitely require work to get them not to rub.

Even with the non flush 17 x 9.5 +42 i'm running, i still get a little rub on the bumper tabs. I do track work in my car hence the "conservative" offsets.
i have my tab relocated very far back so i don't get any rubbing there. I track my car too...hasn't rubbed yet on track

I only get problems when I hit dips on the freeway.

iirc the reason asm has such a conservative setup is for aerodynamics. tires sticking past the fenders is not good for aero.

^dang even 9.5's dont sit flush, as of now im seriously not even interested in these fenders anymore, theres just no point, and nobody can come up w/ any wheel specs that sit flush, and if they do sit flush than they rub....

MAJOR letdown
whats there to be sour about, you havent even bought anything

lol nich has already whipped out the entire blueprints on his setup to help you and this is your response, weak

^^agree, you got to pay to play! i order a set 9.5" of +28 at front and +36 at back and i will need a lot of work too to avoid of rubbing. So this is how the games play...

Im running 17x9 +22 in the rear with ASM flares and 17x9 +40 in the front with ASM front fenders and everything sits flush.

I was prevoiusly running 17x9 +22 all around with J's wide front fenders and that was also flush
