So absolutely cannot make up my mind on new set of wheels. Advice is needed...
Torn between 17x9 +35 all around or 17x9 +25 all around...

Have downforce front fenders. And rolled/pulled rears. Looking to fill the wells without too much poke :-/

Why are these the only two fitment choices you are limited to? What kind of wheels are you looking for. Sounds like you have some room to play with. I recommend going as wide as possible with the wheel. I'm running 17x10 +38 all around on stock fenders that rolled in the rear and fronts that have about 15mm of flaring. You could easily do 255 all around with the 17x9 +35 setup.


is this your daily? do you mind burning through tires from camber? If not, then the more aggressive setup will work with camber and tire stretch.

Give us more input on what you want out of the setup.

It's my double duty track/street car. Looking for new cruising wheels. Leaning towards 17x9.5 +30 for daily abuse... Any pics of this setup or 17x9 +35 would be appreciated. Been bouncing back n fourth between two rim styles and sizing for weeks...

Back your camber out in the rear till the wheel is flush with the fender and it will look perfect!
