Will this fit?

Any of you experts happen to know if I can fit a 17x9.5 +38 Work XD9 on the rear? I'm lowered on Buddyclub N+, Euro alignment, Rolled fenders and rear tab relocated. Thanks!

It can be done. You would probably have to go more aggressive on your alignment, something like -3 to -3.5 rear camber. Also, 245/35 tire would be your best bet if you don't want to pull the fender.

Whoops, it should be a 245/40/17 tire to keep stock diameter, not 245/35. For some reason I was thinking they were 18's.

Yeah no problem. UK spec is -2 camber so that works for your set up with 245. If you wanted to run 255's you can, you would just need to go with close to -3, but that's doable.

It will fit, but you need a LOT of rolling and trimming before it will fit without rubbing. Camber will need to be adjusted depending on the height of the car, it's very tight with 9.5 +38 and a 245.

I agree with the 245/40R17. It is tight but you already did what is needed to make it work.
