Gram Light 57F's ?
Wihle I love my Weds, I think at some point I'll be switching it up, I've always loved the look of the 57F's (clean 5 spoke).
Front seems easy enough to fit as there is a 17x7.5 +48
But the rear presents some problems...
There's a 17x8.5 +40 and a 17x9.5 +38
I'm willing to roll fenders and currently running UK spec aligment (-2 rear I think) but I won't run smaller than a 245 in the back.
my question is would rolling/moving bumper tab and that camber be enough? I'm not slammed (1 finger gap). I've read the wheel fitment guide but it doesn't really help here.
The wheel in question:


I might be OK with having to get rear over fenders to get them to fit as it will be a bit down the road before I get them.
Also are custom offsets available? I saw on Volks site that they offered that on most wheels, but I couldn't find the 57F on there.
On E-auto's track car (wide fenders and 275 tires with the 9.5 +38 all around)

8.5 +40 would work with rolled fenders and -2 camber. You could probably run 255 without a problem.
