Default Is a 17x8 +29 too crazy for the front

I want a set of blitz type 01's cx and I found a set 17x8 +29 and 17x9 +38

the rears wouldn't be hard to fit but idk about the fronts. Is it too crazy if I just rolled my fenders and ran a bunch of camber?

Do it and look awesome or wait on another set to come along??

The fronts will fit with just a roll! No pull with 215/45 and -2 degrees. I have 17x8 +35 with those specs.

Your running a 6mm higher offset. I'm curious if anyone has a similar offset to a +29. That's a big difference

Not much at all. 10mm+ would be, but not 6mm.

btw that equates to a 17x9 +41 in the front, so check around for someone with a 17x9 +40 in front and they should be able to help you

9" wide +41 would put the outside lip of the *wheel* at the same place, but a same size tire would be stretched more and give greater clearance. Better to go by same offset and tire width, IMO.

If you're just about rubbing now, 6mm less offset is too much.

They're the wrong offset unless you want ill fitting wheels that look rediculous.
