Hey Manga,

If I went with a Forgestar set up of 17x9 and 17x10, what would be the ideal offset? Forgestar let's you customize it so wanted to get your take. I'm ok with rolling fender and relocating tabs, not so much on the pulling. The car will be used mostly for track duty. Stock suspension so far, but will modify in future.

The 6ULR offset is...
Front: 17x9" +63
•Rear: 17x10" +72

That is a fine choice if you are looking to avoid fender work. You could even go up to 10" +75 to +77 rear which would give you an extra 3-5mm of clearance.

If you know you are going to roll the fenders anyway and want a more aggressive look then something like +53 front, +60 rear would make more sense.

Yup. Great specs. IF you are lowered I would still roll the fronts but thats all. No pulling needed.

Will they survive?

yes but go with the a wider rear

like nate said, 9.5j

my ideal specs would be 9+45 or so, 10+55 that way you keep very similar to stock stagger with widths and offsets. actually with AP2 sizes, more like 10+63 or so

Deception,

Would a 9 inch, +45 in front and a 10 inch, +55 in rear have any rubbing issues? Would a fender roll and tab relocation be enough?

Another question guys...

With ASM overfenders on, wheels 18x9.5, 255/35 tires and koni/eibach, how much offset will be the ideal?

Thanx!

A fender roll, tab relo and alignment would be enough for them to fit.

You can fit low 30's or maybe high 20's. I am going to run 17x10 +35 on the rear and have the same overfenders.

Would 17x8.5 +40 245/40/17 fit in the rear without a roll? What sort of drop and how much camber will i need to go without a roll? Will i be able to do 1 finger gap with ~1-2 degrees camber?

No. It will need a roll. You are basically adding a 23 mm spacer to an oem ap2 wheel. It need a roll.
