Default RIMS, RIMS, RIMS!

I have to say, I'm bummed out. =[
I really had my eyes and heart on Blitz 01's,
but it seems as if I can't get the size and the offset to fit.
I am saying this b/c I originally wanted to 17X8+45fr and 17X9+45rr
but I just realized that in order for me to have this set up
I have to roll my fenders... which I really don't want to do.
In order for me to not roll my fenders,
I have to go with 17X7.5 and 17X8.
I don't mind the front to the same width as OEM, but the rear...
to go narrower... that's my biggest concern.

BTW, the set-up will be on PSS9's with 1/2" drop all around

I am also interested in Mugen MF10's and Volk CE28N,
but it seems as if there are waaaaaaaaay too many folks with these...

dilemma, dilemma...
Do you guys know of other rims that may solve my issue?

Your rims look dope, no doubt, but I don't want 16's or have 8" on the rear.
Minimum 8.5" in the rear.

Work Emotions

Just roll your fenders. It's the only solution that will greatly expand your options.

17x8 front and 17x9 rears you wont have to roll fenders if you're dropped only 1/2. I have the same setup with same offset and im lowered about 1.25 in front and 1.5 in the rear. I didnt really have to roll my fenders but i ended up shaving 1/4 inch off in the rear. you can do it!!

Tim,

How's your camber? I bet your tires wear out unevenly? With my calculations, I know that I can do it, but tires will wear unevenly and when driven hard it'll rub. Doesn't yours rub?...
i have my camber to almost stock specs. I rub sometimes going up on driveways but not too bad. Im sure with his drop it wont be too bad....im lowered more than he is.

So, you have +45 offsets on both front and rear? Can I see some pics?
