i understand where you are coming from, just wanted to give the guy some hope that these will fit with some minor mods. in case he really wants to run the wheels
well it's your car that made me think this would work. I have come across a set of work vs-xx and that's the size they have. How about this setup....18x8.5+26 18x9.5+26 they have a set there that I really want it that setup but I think it's was off. They are all on rbwheels. I just found this site yesterday and didn't think any others out there besides memoryfab and jdmland hand wheels like these so I am just looking at these crazy offsets.

18x8.5 +26 and 18x9.5 +26 does not fit, no matter how much you roll your fenders or how much camber you have.... i think? silentdancer, what's your take on this?
I am running 18x8 +33 up front and it already sticks out of the fender more than i would like it to..

yeah they are nuts looking on the site. I knew they wouldn't fit and that's why I had tears in my eyes when I was reading the offset on them. silentedancer the +35 are no where near as aggersive as the +41s you had on yours right?

well an inch is around 24mm, so half an inch is 12 so that is around a 8+29, 9+29

so the 35s will fit nicer then the 41s you ran. I am looking at the same wheels you ran. How much fender rolling did you do with that setup?

I'm a little confused at the last few posts so I'll try to clarify one thing. Ego, a lower offset number is a more aggressive fit (assuming the same width). A 17x8 +41 is less aggressive and will fit MORE properly than a 17x8 +35.
