looks kinda sunken in with the overfenders in back since you don't really need them to clear. I <3 RG's in that size though
Yup i dont really need the overfenders in the back, ...but now i have plenty of room to slammed it and not worry about rubbing

that's actually incorrect. 0.5" more width is about 6mm of clearance. When you add rim width, the wheel is extended equally in both directions from the rim center....so you'd only add clearance equal to HALF of the increased width. 1" added rim width would equal 12.5mm more of needed clearance

I think 17x9.5 +35 should be doable on stock..although you're probably going to be right at the practical limit.

You can slam on these wheels without rubbing easily

I'm planning on running -3 front and -4 rear with the j's rca kit with front fenders flared and rear pulled to the max. My rears are already shaved all the way down.

Running that much camber you may want non staggered wheels/tires so you can rotate front-rear and get the most out of your tires. Just a suggestion.

My S is just a cruiser. If I daily drove it, I would keep my current setup which is aggressive but not really that impractical. -3.5r and -2.6f.

I have standard spec wheels...17x7.5 +48 and 17x8.5 +50. However I just got new wheels that came in today that are much more aggressive

pics and specs will be up once i get them mounted/fitted
