Default fitment & offset question

I'm planning on running 17x8 +35 215/45/17, 17x9.5 +41 245/40/17....anyone running that setup?

right now i'm lowered on tein springs, no fender roll. will i have any fitment issues with those offsets? I really want to go with 255 in the back but if that requires a fender pull, i would stick with 245's.

Thxs!

You'll need a roll with those offsets even with a 245.... you'll need camber too

i'm running 18x9 +45-50(forgot exact offset) right now & i'm not rubbing with no fender roll & camber adjustment.

the 17x9.5 +41 is that big of a difference?

Whoops didn't see that you were the op

If the ones you posted about were a 9" wide rim, they would be at +35 offset which is 10-15mm more aggressive than the ones you have now which is a pretty big difference.

I'm running 17x8+35 on the front. You will rub without fender modification.

that's weird, you must drive on some nice roads... if you have 18x9 +45-50 in the rear and you go through a big dip in the road you should rub a little bit (unless you actually have 18x9 +60 or something close to that).... But regardless the wheels you are looking at definitely are quite a bit more aggressive

fyi I had some 18x9.5 +52 in the rear with 255s and I rubbed with some camber... although I was lowered about 1.5-2"

haha no nice roads....i used to rub a little on old tires Kumho's, same size but it wasnt all that bad so i never did a fender roll. After i replaced to bridegstones, it doesnt even rub at all anymore lol....

but going back to 17" rims so was wondering on the offsets cause i know they arent that s2k friendly....

My fronts are 225s. Haven't rolled the fenders yet because it's in the garage for the moment until I decide what I want to do with it.
