Default New Wheels

I'm currently trying to pick my dad up a set of wheels. I believe he wants the LE37's in gunmetal with a polished lip. Not my fav wheel but it's not my car. Now i read the whole offset guide so i know that a 17x8 F and a 17x8.5 is ideal but i would like to put a 17x9 in the rear but would i need some fender rolling or not? Thanks for your help.

9.0" wheel: +53 offset (235, 245, or 255 tires)

Something in this neighborhood is good.

I had OZ Superlegerra's, 18x9 in the back and lower than a 53 offset (not positive on the number exactly) with a 255/35 tire. Lowered about 1.5 inches and I was fine. No rubbing unless it was a hard bump.

Thanks Nitty,

That is stock height. No plans to lower it - the lip already takes enough abuse.

Probably. There's lots of room back there. 255's came with the rims when I bought them used. I might go with 235 front, 265 rear Falken RT615's next.
