I really doubt it but will any of these work without too much modification to the fenders?

17x8+35
17x9 +35

17x8+22
17x9+22

18x8 +32
18x9+45

the first set-up would work if you rolled fenders and got camber, i think thats what silentdancer was running on his second set of Blitz wheels...

Thanks for the quick reply. Anyone know if the 18 inch setup will work? And anyone else have any of the setups or know if they'll work?

TIA

those are all fairly low offsets. your wheels would be sticking pretty far out from your fenders. dont do it.

I am one of the people that will say that none of those will not work. I do have experience in this too... I sell wheels and have had a few different sets on my S2000. I had 18x9.5 in the rear with a +48 offset and it was a frickin' nightmare. The rears stuck out well past the fender, and no matter what tires size I would have run, it wasn't going to work.
There are safe offsets, ambitious offsets, and crazy offsets. This falls into the last category. It would be unwise to attempt to fit any of these on your car. The first may work with a good deal of work, but unless you are a professional, which you are not because you need help with offsets in the first place, and know tons about the way these things work, it won't.
Not trying to be mean or anything, but if you don't understand what you are buying, you shouldn't buy it just to be buying it. Check around the forums to see what offsets people are running with no problems. Either buy the same wheels they are running, or get wheels with similar offsets. Like someone once said- "get off your lazy ass" and learn about offsets so you can stop depending on other people for advice and avoid buying wheels that were never intended for your car.

"I have noticed since this thread came into existence and having been "stickied" that people STILL ask, "Will these fit without rubbing?"

You all know that I'll answer the same question year after year without hesitation, but when a thread like this exists and people still continuing to ask the same DUMB questions over and over again (even though they've been directed to this thread), it boils down to either LAZINESS OR STUPIDITY.

The information in this thread is superb (and very complete and well constructed) and when used with just the tiny-est bit of arithmetic, answers can easily be found.
All I can say is, "We (at least I'm) should not be answering anymore questions when the answer can be obtained here".

GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASSES and maybe you should have been paying attention in school that day? (You know, that day they taught you how to add, subtract and divide by 2?)

PS. If this threads offends anyone, I shall delete it at the request of the thread starter."

^some people want a more aggressive offset than what the "wheel fitment guide" recommends. thats why they post and ask what combos can work on there.

the rear fitment on the guide seems pretty good. for someone who doesnt have much experience working on things like this its accurate. but the front you can go wider with no modification at all. I do agree though. for the average person who does not want to deal with rolling fenders and trimming bumper tabs etc. it would be wise to follow the guide
