Default looking at crazy offset wheels

im looking at getting some crazy offset wheels
17x8 +23
17x9 +15 to be exact

just wanted to see how hard it would be to fit them on the s
i am currently running some 17x8 +42 17x9 +44 work emotions
so i had to roll my rear fenders
i am pretty low with only about half a finger gap all around
i also like to auto x and drift my car at local events so still wanna be able to do that
i am planning on running some smaller tires
around 215 in the front and 245 in the back or something like that


any advice would be cool before i jump on the deal

thanks guys

You plan on running a wide body? I've seen a 17x9 +22 ran in the rear with ASM over fenders, any lower than that were ran on wide body kits.

Also those offsets with smaller tires isn't going to help you with autocross at all. Did you find some wheels from a 240 or something?

Maybe someone else can chime in on this, but this sounds like a bad idea. Its your car tho and you can do whatever you want

I would not say this is going to work without taking the fenders off the car. The offset is way too low.

the fronts would be easy..
The rears just roll and pull it some with some camber. 245/40
I seen 10 with a +15 test fitted.
