I wouldn't do it...personally I'd only go with wheels in the +5x offset range, your 5mm gap is good though.

 

Getting a fender roll is very easy and cheap however. I have 17x9 +44 with 255/40 rear and 225/45 front. No rubbing. With -1.3 front camber and -2.4 rear camber. Lowered about 2".

 

do places usually back their fender rolling jobs with a satisfaction guarantee? because I'm sure its pretty easy to mess up someones paint.

 

Just go to a reputable place. I don't think any place will cover paint chipping or cracking from being done.

 

nobody will guarantee anything about paint chipping/cracking since there are too many variables... just go to a reputable place (do some research first) that has experience with fender rolling.

 

I really don't want to roll the fender. Want it as stock as possible.

 

Okay, Here is the other wheel that I'm interested in.

17x8+47
17x9+47
5x114.3

Hopefully this will fit a lot better than the one I previously listed. Which was....

17x8+42
17x9+47
5x114.3

What do you guys think? I want to keep it as stock as possible without having to roll the fender.

Thanks you all in advance.
Tibor.

 

It's not much different....

 

what size tires are you going to be running? i have a set of work vs-xx in 17x8, 17x9 +47 front and back, and at stock height i rubbed the back on really large bumps on the freeway. this is with 215/45 front and 245/40 rear tires. The only reason i think i rubbed in the rear was due to the tire size. i had hankook rs-2 tires that seemed to be a bit wider than the hankook ventus v12's i have now on another set of wheels, both were "245" wide.

if you are going to lower the car you will have to roll the rear fenders and relocate the rear bumper tab. you will also need to add a little bit of negative camber in the front and rear to fit 17x8 +47 and 17x9 +47.

if you want to lower the car and not roll your fenders you'll want 17x7.5 or 17x8 in the front with about ~+49 ish, depending on tires and alignment.

in the rear 17x8.5 with a ~+50 offset will work. and for 17x9 you'll want somewhere in the mid to high 50's, 55+ish offset to not have to roll the fenders. again this also depends on the tires size, brand and alignment specs.

what people fail to realize is its not only the offset that affects how far the wheel sticks out/in from the fender but also the WIDTH of the wheels.

theres a wheel offset calculator.

stock sizes are 17x7 +55 up front and 17x8.5 +65 in the rear plug in your specs and compare.

1mm ~ .04in

 

Okay. I appreciate your advise. I guess. I will keep looking for a higher offset tires.
