Hey guys. 17x9 +40 TE37. Whats it gonna take to get them to fit on a stock body with rolled fenders/tab relocated and -3 camber.

Thanks!

Five lug nuts per wheel.

Jk, lol. That's a pretty standard offset for that wheel. Bunch of peeps on the forums run them. Just roll your fenders so they don't rub. 3 degrees of camber is more than enough.

Depends on the tires you run. The rear will accommodate a 255 with your list, however the front wont without a pretty serious pull. You can run a 245 up front with less pull, or settle on a 225/45 or possibly a 235/40 if you want to try and avoid it.

Was hoping to get away with running a square set with 255/40/17 RS3....

I would run a 255 ZII. They run a little narrower than the RS3. You could do either, but you're gonna need a good amount of camber and a pretty good pull. It's absolutely doable, though, I've seen it.

Spoke to a few local guys with this spec. I can get away with the RS3 and 255's. I'll post results.
