Anyone run the Wedssport A-72R (17x9.5+47) and 255/40/17 tires w/ wide fenders (or over fenders)? I am trying visualize how large the gap would be to the edge of the fenders? I currently have J's Racing front wide fenders (the car came that way) which increase the width by +35 on each side and the rear fenders are rolled. I could go with a wheel with a smaller offset to push the wheel closer to the fender edge but I have an opportunity to get a really good deal on this wheelset and tires. Another option would be to get rid of the J's Racing front fenders and go back to OEM front fenders. TIA!

I run a similar setup using Tc105x 255/40/17 and use voltex overfenders

This is an older iteration of my car with those exact wheels on OEM fenders with a roll and slight pull.


With J's racing fenders, I'd expect it to look very similar to this car where the wheel is slightly sunken in (rather than flush) like OEM wheels with OEM non-rolled fenders.

Making assumptions, but i'm pretty certain that these wheels are a 17x9 with a high 30s to mid 40s offset.





Compare this with 17x9 +22 which sits much more flush with the fender (see below).

Thanks for the pics... I think it will actually look pretty good based on what you all posted. A +20(ish) offset would definitely be too much. I don't want to cut the rear fenders. They are already rolled and I think I may get rear overfenders just to even out the look front and rear.

Bought the car yesterday and looking forward to having some fun with it.
