Default Pic request! 17x9.5" + 17x8" wheels

Hi there peeps, I've recently started looking into selling my civic type-R to buy an S2000. I'm not keen on the standard wheels and I like them wide

Does anyone have any pictures of their car with 17x8" fronts and 17x9.5" rears? Preferably with the 215/245 tyre setup. The wheels I'm looking at are the above size but have been told I'll have a struggle fitting the 9.5" rears.

Any help would be great! Thanks in advance too

8 isnt wide. and youu can fit a 9.5 no problem. depends on offset and how low you want to go.

Yeah 8's will fit fine, I have them on my civic ATM with a large offset

Offsets were going to be my next question once some pics had arrived, as I want to get the stance just right. Ride height will be fairly low but not mental like some of you American chaps

Im on 17x9 +48 all around. Had to roll rear fenders and pull the fronts a bit, but no rub after I trimmed the rear bumper.

Thanks for that mate! If you have no rubbing issues I'll be fine using a 9.5" rim on the rear with a 245 tyre. I realise offsets will affect things so I'll see what options I have.

Thanks again! Anyone else with pics please post as all will be helpful!
