What is the end goal of the car? Why would you like to do those sizes? You have Seibon +10 in the front and rear? I can tell you that the 17x10 +55 with a 275 is about the max you can do with OEM fenders that don't look like they have been murdered.

I know some have gotten 11.5 under stock fenders so i figured a 10-11in should be doable..... I want to go square so my front fenders are whats limiting me... maybe a 18x10.5 square? what offset would make that work. I think a tiny bit of rubbing at full lock would be ok but I dont want any contact with my fenders!

--18x10.5+60 maybe.... idk if it would clear the brakes or not though.

Hey guys, im considering a set of forgestars in 17x10 and 17x9 r/f and I was wondering what offsets I should pick to avoid a roll in the rear? I was thinking about +55 or 58 up front, since I'm not looking for a super aggressive fitment, and +60 out back. I've seen the 17x10 +50 and I think it's too aggressive to avoid rolling the rear fenders. I don't mind a rear roll it's just a huge pain and I'd like to avoid it if possible. Also, if I ran 245/255 on this setup, would I need a front sway bar as well to avoid a super oversteery setup? It's going to be mostly for street use but one of my docs invited me to start autoxing and tracking with him so it will be used for a few track days but mostly street and autox

I'm running the 17x9 +58 with 255/40 on all 4 corners and I got some slight rubbing on both front and rear fenders during heavy compression (also depends how low you are, and how much camber you are running). I ended up getting the front fenders rolled, but left the back ones unrolled. Not sure on the fitment of the 17x10's, but I'm sure some of those running that size will chime in.

Front sounds good, I'd go 9" +58 which is the highest offset available in that width. For rear, you would be better off with a 10" +70 or +72 which is also the highest offset available. If you wanted similar tire stretch front/rear, a 9.5" +65 rear would also work.

I am running a Cusco front sway bar with 245/255 and am happy with it.

What's your camber settings? If you are rubbing the fenders camber will help. I ran a 10" with a +72 and didn't need a roll. However the inner fender needed some clearance.

Just for reference I can fit a 10" +44 with -3.3 camber F/R with a good fender roll. A +58 will be easier to ft.

I'm maxed out on front camber at -1.7 and running -.5 more in rear at -2.3 (lowered about an inch over stock on Bilstein PSS9's). Just bought some Hard Race ball joints which should help me get to -3 up front and will try for -3.5 at the rear... I would expect to get much better clearance at those settings.

Just brought my brand new wheels and brand new tires to get mounted after waiting 6 months for delivery. Installer said one of the wheels is bent. He stuck around 14 weights on it to get it as close as he could. Vendor asked me to open a claim with UPS. Hopefully forgestar or the vendor will take care of this. Not looking good for them so far.
