17x8+47 wheels would stick out nearly an inch more than stock wheels.
17x9+44 wheels would stick out a full 1.5 inches more than stock.

Except for looking really nasty, there's no technical reason why you couldn't use those wheels.

To compare, the 17" stock wheels are 17x8.5 and have a 65mm offset.

^^^^^Okay, not the answer I was looking for, but I guess some people haven't seen the s2ks out there running the old skew limited Blitz 01 wheels w/ the 17x9, 17x8 +45's all the way around, and from what i recall i don't remeber seeing them stick out 1.5 inches. With a simple roll and camber it should be set. Thanx for you input though.

Heh, then just put down the "look nasty" comment as personal opinion. I'd be curious to see pictures of the 17x9+45 all-around setup if you have any.

Anyway, no, you won't have any issue whatsoever with brake clearance. Stock calipers are quite smaller than many of the aftermarket BBKs out there.

Hater?

Any shots from the back? I'm curious how the extra 1.5 inches can get tucked in there.

(For what it's worth, I've had rubbing issues with my 17x7.5+50 Volk fronts. I'm simply trying to help somebody out avoid that issue, it's not fun. If a fender-roll and camber work for you, )

1.5 is rim from stock.. its how u fit the tire and fender modding and camber/toe/etc,.

7.5+50's should rub unless u ran a crazy thick tire or had crappy suspension. no offense to you. 17x7.5+50 u should be able to at least run 225 on there.. even a thick sqURE YOKO and be fine.


me and OB talked earlier its all good ull see them hotttt ladies in 2-3-4 months haha

1.5 negative camber, stock suspension including swabars, r-compound 225-wide Victoracers and cornering for all she's worth.
