Default Anyone found 17x9 wheels with offset around +58?

I currently run 17x9 +63 wheels on all four corners with 245/40 17 front tires and 255/40 17 rear tires. I am on stock suspension with the CR springs and have not modified my fenders at all.

This is a track car and I have put about 20 track days on it with zero rubbing issues except occasionally on the front brake ducts I installed.... It seems to me that a 17x9 in a +58 offset would be perfect for a square wheel setup with the 255rear/245front or even a 255 square tire setup.

I haven't found anyone that offers this. Seems they are all +63...or much lower.....around +45. 17x9 +58 would give more inner clearance to avoid the brake ducts, and hopefully would not interfere with the outside fenders. Anyone else have this same issue? Anyone found good wheels in a 17x9 with offset around +58?

I am fighting the same battle as i want bbk clearance but need 17x9 +60ish for autox.
949racing has the new 17x9 +55 out now but thats a few mm too low for me to not be taking advantage of the fender rolling for the class.
Enkei pf01 comes in +60,

Are you allowed to run a 5mm spacer? That would make your +63 a +58. Can't say I have ever seen a +58 offset on an off the self wheel.

He would need to replace his studs to run a 5mm spacer.

Shouldn't, but thats up to the wheel hub thickness of the particular wheel too, typically 3-5mm is doable with stock length studs, no more then 5mm though or you dont get the recommended 6 full lug nut turns. I track with 3mm no prob with RPF's and would consider 5mm if I needed the added 2mm. I know 5mm has been used often up front to clear the hubs over the boring out option to run stock rears all around.
