Those actually look really nice, they have a bit of a concave which always looks great.

Just got my new Enkei Kojin 17x9 +45 with Potenza RE-11A 255/40R/17 tires all the way around.
Here are some quick shots in my garage. Yea, I need to drop the car and get a custom alignment.
any rubbing or need for rolling fenders, or using wheel spacers? this is the wheel size and tire size im wanting to run just a different offset.
Yes these would require the fenders to be rolled especially if you drop the car. Also the offset is the biggest factor in needed to roll the fenders so what offset are you looking at?

I have been looking at running a square setup of 17x9 +60 with 255/40 on all 4 corners

why all the way up to +60? these wheels are designed for a concave look. also you can run +45 easy without major camber and all you should do is roll and pull the fender

Any update on these wheels and more pics? Contemplating a set and want to know how it worked out when dropped and aligned.

I have Swift Spec R 1.2" drop and was wondering if I had to roll vs roll/pull my front fenders. I'm also curious how you guys think they'll look on Silverstone. Here's the 5 sizes they make in 17"

17x8+35
17x8+40
17x8+45

17x9+35
17x9+45

I was thinking maybe 8+40 front / 9+35 rear with 225/255 star specs to get it to look the best (concave), but still not require any maybe fender work.
