Default Wheel fitment help

Will a 17x8.5 +35 square setup fit? After a search, I think the rears will fit if I roll my fenders. I am unsure about the fronts. I think it may be too aggressive. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

I ran 17x8.5 +50 255 40 17 star specs on the rear. Stock suspension ap1. I would rub / hit on hard bumps.. So you will def. need to do some fender work on the rear.

I read that with a 245 tire and rolled fenders the +35 would fit in the rear.

From what I read -2.0 to -3.0 camber should work in the back. Proabably closer to 3.0

What kind of susp drop are you going to be running?

The rear will fit no problem with rolling your fenders and bumper tab relocated. 245/40 will be your best fitment at -2 camber. If you went -3 camber in the back its very possible you could squeeze a 255, but hard to gauge with how different tire sizing/profile can be across the manufactures. Your riding that line.

The front with a 235/40 would be a good mate for the back, almost square set up but a good fit for the rim width. 215/45 would be doable but really stretched. If you roll the fronts and pull the fenders 10mm with -2.5 camber you should not have a problem with the 235/40 fitment. With a 215/45 you can go a little less extreme with either the fender pull or camber, your choice.

Ok so I am guessing a 245 square setup is out of the question? I will probably be dropped 1.5 inches.

I would be impressed, I will put it that way. If you could get -4 camber out of the front with an aggressive fender pull, you would be in the ballpark. a 235/40 will be more reasonable/streetable.

Ok makes sense. I would've prefered more firendly offsets but the rims I'm looking at are this size. For just this instance, I'm leaning a little more towards form then function. lol

I'll keep the set up in mind. Thanks for all the help.

Here are the rims I am thinking of getting

Work RSZ-R's
