Default Offset question

Hey guys I have a quick question, im no wheel guru, that and i have a terrible memory so those two combined led me to the situation im in. I started my project S years ago, and long story short it didnt go as planned and now i'm picking it back up again 3 years later. I ordered some wheels for the project, but forgot what mm over fenders i was going to get for the rear, and what mm wide fenders i was going to get for the front so i was hoping someone could help me out here so i can order the right fenders and get on with it. The wheel specs are:

17X10 +44 w/1.5 inch lip in the front

17X11 +25 w/3 inch lip in the rear

The wheels are ccw classics

If you need anymore information to help me out i have the original work order for them.

You didn’t list what width tires you were planning to run. That will have an effect on fitment. So I will assume since these are 17" you are going with 255/40 up front and 275/40 in the rear. Its the only size that really makes sense for these wheel widths ( unless Kuhmo XS replacement brings back the 295/35/17)You can run that for the rear. It’s the stagger I have now.

You will need at minimum an additional 35mm of fender for the rear. +40 would be better (if you can find it)

You will need at minimum 15mm for the front fenders (should be no problem)

No problem.

I should note, If 295/35/17 becomes available again this summer with the new V720 and you want to rock them, you will need to increase your rear over fenders to another 10mm over what I stated, to be able to accommodate them. Unless you go custom fenders or re barrel your wheels for a higher offset or get lucky and find some bolt ons that are +50mm, you will be hitting on the outside still with those tires.

Thanks for the info. With the price of fenders as it is, i might as well go custom fenders to be honest.
