I am trying to gauge how wide these wheels will look on the front and whether I should get aftermarket fenders or just roll them. If you can post and tell me:

1) Suspension - aftermarket or stock
2) Camber settings
3) Whether fenders were rolled

Also if you have anywhere from +40 to +50 I would appreciate seeing them. I appreciate the help guys!

This is what smirfs2k05 gave me

i run 17x9 45 with uk alignment, coilovers, and rolled fenders. looks just like smirfs2k05's car.

i would guess that this setup with stock suspension would look very weird on the street because of the huge wheels and high stance.

aftermarket front fenders will look cleaner and more oem than rolled fenders.

17x9 +44 def needs a roll on the rear, so there is a 100% you need to roll the fronts

Thanks for the pic...looks good

How much more aggressive is that than U.S. spec, and how is the wear on your tires?

just go to the rpf1 thread and look through a bunch of pages. That exact size setup has been done 1000 times at multiple ride heights/tires sizes/camber settings/etc. That thread will have about all the info you need.

It's *slightly* more aggressive than OEM and I like it. I don't drive my car often enough to worry about tire wear. Being able to rotate tires should help with wear. I'll probably go more aggressive with my next alignment.

I'm also running 255 tires all around and am only about 1.25" lowered.

the wheel and roll setup is the same as smirfs2k05. He actually rolled my fenders. different alignment, height, and tires, though.
