how much more does a 17x9 +45 in the front help handling then a 17x8 +45? right now my current setup is 17x8 +45 front, 17x9 +45 rear. i amd getting my car repainted(long story) and i would like to run a 255 up front. what camber would i need to run this? my biggest thing is does it really increase handling alot? if it does and people say it is worth it then i am going to get it done. i love the way a 17x9 looks up front with alot of tire poke head on, looks beyond aggressive.

last thing, i dont know how to flare the front fenders myself. does anyone in the del valv area know how?

 

It can improve performance if you change the anti roll bars. You will need more negative camber and the fender modification. I would recommend that work be done before your paint job. If I can help with the tires let me know.
