So I would use these sizes and offsets as a starting point. Especially when you are pushing the envelope..
so Jim based on this and my wish to run 225/255 set up, car being lowered an inch or less ,will be better to do oz alegritta squared set up 17x8.5 with 59 offset and run different size tires or stagger it 8/48 up front and 8.5 rear? do we know how much will it be tucked in or stick ? thank y'all

Why do you want to stagger tire sizes on the same size wheels?

i do not necessarily want squared wheels im just asking what is better to get bcs that wheel in 17x7.5/8 comes in 48 offsets only so im worried it will rub with 225 with car being lowered ,and i kinda do not see point buying new wheels to be same size as factory and narrower then what i have now .i hope this makes sense

Close to pulling the trigger on some wheels, just wanting to do a final check before I put in my order.

Work Emotion CR 2 piece

17x9.5 +54 Front, 17x10 +55 Rear

245/40 Front, 255/40 Rear

Lowered 1 inch on spoon springs, will roll front and rear fenders.

What camber would be recommended? Any other issues with fitment?

Looking for Volks OG TE37
17x9 +34 Offset square setup
I'll be running Ohlins Coilovers
I know it's an aggressive fitment however it seems they are pretty similar to the Evasive's TE37 fitment, besides rolling fenders and camber adjustment what else need to be done to get them fit on an AP2
Thanks for your input

17x9.5 +41 does fit differently than 17x9 +34, they shape the same size tire's sidewall differently.

It all depends on what you're willing to do. I'm sure someone has run something similar.

17x9 +34 is really pushing it in the front. The front would need a pretty good pull (17x9.5 +41 would as well). They can fit in the rear but the front is much more difficult. Can't say I would recommend it.

Tire size is important to state though.

Would I run 17x9 +34 with 245? Nah. 17x9 +34 with 215? Sure.
