Default 17x9 +43 with 245 in front

Just want to run this setup with you pros here before I pull the trigger and order them. The rim sizes are-

17x9 +43 front
18x10 +54 rear

From the tire diameter calculator, I could put my new spare stock rear tires on the front
and order some 285/30/18 for the rear and come out just like stock.
What do you guys think of fitment? I'm a little worried about the front. The rear seems doable since I'm at about -2.5 neg camber. Of course I'm ready to roll the fenders and relocate the rear bumper bolt. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA

thanks Spit. Just want to use the two new tires I already have. I'll just testfit the rims first before I order any tires to see how it sits. Love your new setup btw.

i think you could pull it off...

eternalLx put 17x9 +50 with 255 all around:



I believe he is, or will be running camber all around and with a fender roll in front you potentially could be fine with minor rubbing..

You will have to do some modification to make the wheels and tires fit. Front and rear is going tro be tight. I would think fender well modification would be needed.

you need a slight flare in the front, check the link in my sig for pics of 17x9+40 with proper size rubber for an idea how it looks and how much you need to flare.
