Has anyone ran a17x10 +45 with rear over fenders on Hancock RS3 255/40/17? Or would that setup be too Sunken in? Currently I'm lowered with about 1 finger gap in the rear with the inner lip rolled in and bumper tab relocated. Would I be better off just pulling the fender as needed instead of going over fenders?

I test fitted that combo in the rear. You have a bit of room to spare and is not flush with the over fenders if that is the look you are going for. If you do go over fenders your cutting the back quarters anyway otherwise what is the point in getting them.

sorry to but in on this thread but new to the S , I just got a 2007 with 30,000 klm's hardtop included W with red and B interior and want to keep it stock . I have been reading all you guy's write here with interest and wondered if I can run 17 x 10 x 275 without any modifications to suspension or body as you mentioned "stock body fits 10" wide wheels and 275 tires just fine" also which would I run on profile 35 or 40 maybe neither ? Would I run same size wheel and tire front and back . Any input much appreciated . Roshton
The 275 is an oddball size for the s2k no matter if its in an 17" 40 series profile or the 18" 35 series. Unfortunately no one makes a better fit 275/30 option. Overall diameter is too big if maintaining a near stock gear ratio is desired. 285/30/18 or 295/30/18, and the more obscure and discontinued 295/35/17 shown in thread some of us run, is the best overal diameter spec for a wide tire option. These sizes translate to the stock 245-255/40/17.
The fenders once rolled can accommodate 40mm more width in the rear vs the front. So if your trying to maximize the tire width of a stock body you will end up with a staggered fitment. I have performed the necessary stock fender mods to run the widest available rubber front and rear which is a 255/295 stagger.

Thanks for your imfo but like I say I want to keep the body bare bone stock no rolling or whatever else is performed to run larger tires and wheels also not into changing suspension . Just the largest tire and wheel and remain with stock gear ratio without loosing performance due to larger rubber . I'm also not sure of what you are referring to by offset as I realize it is not profile does that mean larger tire and wheel on back compared to front and if so is it the + 70 on front and 72 on rear looking back at previous thread you sent . Thanks Roshton

i'm running asm rear flares with 17x11.5+50 with a 295/35/17 but i'm be going with a 315/35/17 soon. If you want to go 18's i would do a 18x11+50 with a 315/30/18 tire. Whats the point of going wide body what the stock body fits 10" wide wheels and 275 tires just fine?
