They're rolled, but not flared. You could get away with trimming your liner and bending up the tabs with these. They're perfect.

I am not so sure they would fit the usual larger calipers though. The 9.5 +47 has a lot of clearance but I don't think it is more than 9mm big. It looks like the +56 use a similar face?

Not sure either now. I thought I saw a picture with them over an AP Racing kit, but it could have been with a spacer. I'll do some homework and report back.

My car is rubbing slightly on driveways and full lock turning on a square set of 17x9 +40 TE37 wrapped in Hankook RS3 255/40/17 tires. The tires are way to beefy and it's rubbing on the outer lip on the front fender. It's also slightly rubbing the rear bumper as well. Since these wheels are just daily driving/street wheels i'd like your opinions on what i can do to get these to work without rubbing and without PULLING my stock fenders. They are currently rolled flat with the tab relocated. Camber is -3.2 Front and Rear. Here are my options:

1. Purchase a narrower 255/40/17 Spec street tire such as Bridgestone Pole Positions or Hankook V12 Evo's.
2. Purchase 245/40/17 Tires all around.
3. Purchase a narrower 255/40/17 Tire and run a 225/45/17
4. Purchase a 225/45/17 and 245/40/17 Hankook RS3

What would you guys do.

You could do adjustable upper balljoints or control arms.. That will pull in the top of the tire instead of pulling out the bottom with the oem adjustments.

The rear bumper is easy, just trim it.
Do you really need RS3 for daily driving? Seems kind of a waste to me, I would say just move a class down and get summer tires wither higher tread wear (like the models you have said)

The RS3 came with the wheels when i purchased them.

Got a great deal on Bridgestone Pole Positions so i may pull the trigger on em.
