Default Anyone running SSR Type F with deep face?

I'm curious about these wheels in a 17x9 +35. According to my calculations it'll stick out about 2 inches wider than stock AP1 wheels in the front whereas Volk CE28N in 17x10 +45 will stick out almost 2.25 inches wider than stock in the front. And several people run non-staggered CE28N in 17x10 +45 with a fender roll.

So these should fit as well with a fender roll right? Are my numbers right?

Thanks

pretty sure 17x9 +35 doesnt concave on the type f
everyone running them was getting 17x9.5 +40 to get the concave face
half way down on this page

That's disappointing. I was going off of this:

http://www.gotuning.com/product_info...roducts_id=655

You can see at the bottom where it list the specs that the 17x9 +35 is "DF". But even the 17x9.5 +40 still doesn't stick out as far as the CE28N 17x10 +45 and people seem to make those work.

17x10 +45 and 17x9.5 +40 are both easier fits than 9j +35.

Remember, offset determines where the center of the tire sits. The first 2 options I mention will have 2 benefits: 1) stretches the tire more (but not too much) for better clearance, and 2) are higher offsets and thusly will keep the tire overall less aggressive. What usually rubs with more aggressive wheel setups? Unless you're running 18s with a huge stretch and tucked down to the rim, it's the tire.

A 3rd but not as groundbreaking benefit is that the slight stretch will serve to give you better steering response.

However, I think they are concave. From what I remember, these are 17x9 +35.
