Default 17X9 +37 rears

Is there anyone on here that is running this size in the rear ?? Stock bodyline.

17x9 +37

Please I would like to know if it is possible to do this without much mods to the rear. I am willing the cut the fender and bumper, so that will not be a problem !

Thanks,

Victor

I don't see how that is going to work. I have had tires rub with 17X9 ET 55 and 255/40R17 tires. A 37mm offset is going to stick out almost another full inch further.

Yeah Im thinking, actually I know that it is going to involve cutting and rolling the rear and front fenders and also cutting the inside of the rear bumper so that it won't rub on that either

A lot of work but I think it will be worth it
