Default Gram Lights 57DR

I found some wheels that really caught my attention both with look and price.

http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/mm...gory_Code=57DR

I'm looking at the 17x9+38 all around (if possible).

What tire sizes (front and rear) can I get away with on eibach sport springs?

Just rolled. I take it as that it's going to take a lot of work?

in my sig i've got 17x9 +42 front and 17x9 +37 rear with 235/40s all around for my DD. fenders are rolled with a very slight pull. rear fender tab relocated and front fender liners trimmed. definitely can't get any more tire in the front and any more in the rear would be pushing it.

in order to run 255s (which is a smarter choice) you'll need a good pull as well and run at least -2.5 camber all the way around. I'd find a different set of wheels with at least a +49 offset. Check out WedsSport TC105Ns, those wheels are 17x9 +49 and are pretty badass looking imo.

The wedsports look great. I don't want to go over 400 dollars per wheel though, which is why the gram lights caught my attention. But if they don't fit I'll look for something else.

They will definitely fit in the rear but the front will be a challenge. It is doable but not easy.

Found some other wheels that look nice. The PF01SS,

Evasive recommends 17×8 +50 (front) and 17×9 +60 (rear) for people who do not want to mod there fenders.

What tire sizes can I use, dropped on eibachs if I'm looking for minor stretch, (Not hellaflush)
