The offset is low and the wheels do not have the stagger either. I would say this is not a good fit on the car.

It fits with a 1.5'' drop on 235/40/17's in the back.

it's nothing that hasn't been done. but jim is right. it should be staggered. say.. the 17x8 38 and the 17x9 38. that's going very agressive tho, will rub.

hey Fumanchu is that 17x8 all around?

I am pretty sure I was running 17x7.5 +45 in the front and 17x8 +38 in the rear and had no rubbing issues with a 1.5'' drop. This was on 215's in the front and 245's in the rear. From what I have read, the style and offset of the fronts will clear most of the BBK's with no spacer or a 4mm.

Here are some more pictures from the guy I bought them from...

i made some templates today and calculated some of the sizes.

17x7.5 + 45 fits perfect on the front. a 215 will clear, a 225 might rub on the fender liner.

17x9 + 45 is about a 1/4 inch too far out, making it a 17x8 +45 would fix that just fine.

17x7.5f+45, 17x8r+45 will sit flush with the fenders so as long as you're stretching the tire some you shouldn't rub.

im debating between two setups.

17x7.5+45
17x9+45

i should have enough room for a 215/245 setup. i plan on moving up to a 225/255 but i may need to trim and roll the fenders.

OR... since the color i want is only available in certain offsets.

17x8+38
17x9+38

which will be very very agressive, and some serious mods + wider front fender would be necessary, i haven't made up my mind yet.
