Thanks for that link

I've just found out that the only place anywhere near me that will do fender work wants to charge me 500 pounds so thats about $800 for wheels that are wide with a low offset for that concave look! Because of that I may give up on that idea and look for a different type of wheel so that I only need a basic fender roll and tab relocate.

From that link above would I be right to think that the Weds Sport TC105n in a 17x8 et49 front and 17x9 et49 rear would work a lot better?

Only other wheels I've seen that I like are XXR527's but they are 17x8.25 and then a +35 or +25 or +0 offset so would any/all of those still mean lots of work or could they work relatively easily or look weak as fcuk? also if the XXR's would work, would the 245/40/17 rear tires still fit ok or would the walls bulge? I wouldnt mind swapping the ones off my OEM wheels if i can as they were pretty much brand new when i bought the car a month ago...

Speaking from firsthand experience:

REAR:
18" x 10" +71 running a 285/30/18.......no rubbing, no modification, nothing at all

-OR-

18" x 10.5" +74 also running a 285/30/18.........no rubbing / no trimming


FRONT
18" x 8" +51 running a 225/40/18

That's with the car lowered 2".........and without all kinds of crazy camber: -1.3 front and -2.0 rear
