Default Work Emotion help

I am thinking about purchasing the sunkface work emotions but im not sure what sizes to get. I think the rears have to be 17x9. Does this mean i have to roll my fenders? Also if i get those in the rear should i get 17x8 or 17x7 in the front. i think 17x7 might be too big of a difference and 17x8 might be too wide on the front. any input/advise is appreciated.

Rear (concave): 17x9 +44
Front (convex): 17x8 +47

Fender clearance will depend on what size tires you go with and the height of your car. At factory height with 215/245 tires you should be fine. If you lower the car much you will need to roll the fenders...... no big deal!

17x8 +47 Front
17x9 +44 Rear
is the size of wheel that i am running. my tire sizes are 215/45/17 on re730's for the front. And 245/40/17 re750's in the rear. I have it dropped on s-techs as well. I will get a slight rubbing of the inner bumper cover on large dips on the highway other than that I haven't experienced any large problems with rubbing. My fenders are not rolled as well.
My car id dirty right now but i'll go take some quick pics of it so you will see what it looks like.

Well here are those pics. hope they help.








Sorry if the pics are too big. But the concave looks sooo much better in person. the pictures don't do them justice.

That looks great. Thank you so much for posting. Have you noticed a difference in handling compared to your old/stock wheels? Thanks again.

NICE! I agree, these wheels aren't very photogenic, but look great in person.

Sean, as I mentioned in my first post, I'd go with 215/245 tires. You could go a little wider but may run into some PIA rubbing issues.

Give me a call if you need any help.

215/245 easily, my friend is at 0 finger gap with non rolled fenders in the rear with the 9+45, and hes barely rubbing on big dips. just get some camber in there if you are rubbing.
