Default 5zigen ProRacer GN+

I've found a set of 5zigen pro racer gn+.17x7.5 and 17x8.5 with +48 offset all the way around. I have seen these wheels on a few s2ks but not much detail is given for size, offset, rolled fenders, etc. I want to avoid rolling the fenders. I daily drive her. That said...will they fit properly without mods and if so, what tire sizes should I use?

I meant that I don't want an aggressive set up. It doesn't specifically relate to rolling the fenders.

but, I think I have 5zig rims, but I dont think they're in the offset you mentioned. I can go check on it tonight, if you want.

My rear tires currently rub the bumper tab slightly (-1.5 offset, slight drop), and my rear fenders are rolled by the previous owner, but I dont think it was necessary. With a little more negative camber or stock height, it probably would not rub. My front fenders clear perfectly with my slight drop.

If my math is correct, the fronts should be OK. The rear would only be 9/16" wider than OEM which depending on your drop and tire choice, should also be fine without any fender mods.

I'm running chubby 255/40-17 Star Specs on a rim 1/4" wider than OEM with a 1" drop, I've still got another 1/2" before I'd need a very mild roll.

This offset calculator may help...

It's like putting ap2 wheels on your car - with a normal 215 front and 245 rear you'll have no problems with fitment

OP... I have these exact wheels and in the same sizing. I ran them with 215's in the front and 245's in the rear and my fenders were 100% stock. The fronts never had any problems. The rears would briefly rub but only when hitting a mean pothole or something like that, NEVER really bad enough to damage the fender though. Ride height would probably affect whether or not you may rub. Im a good inch/inch n half lowered on coilovers fwiw. After i got my my fenders rolled there was no rubbing whatsoever.

You really shouldn't have too much of a problem with those sizes unless you are slammed. If anything you may rub on the rear bumper tab.
