Default Downforce fenders/ASM rears

What would be my best fitting option for downforce front fenders and ASM rears?..

17x9 22et
17x9 30et
17x10 22et

Pictures would be appreciated! Thanks a ton!

Not the 10 inch wide ones. I have 17x10 +35 in the rear and plan on running them in front as well. Rear fits perfect front is very close. Click my build thread in my signature for pics.

None of those. The only one that would actually fit at all would be the 9 +30, and in my reasonable opinion makes no sense to go to the effort and cost of fitting with wide aftermarket fenders, when you could do a wider wheel with a better offset on a stock body. Technically with those fenders, you could do a 275/315 stagger on 11" and 12" wide wheels. And stock you can go up to 255/295 on 10" and 11.5" wheels.

I have this fender setup and currently run 18x10+42 with 255 tires. 2.5* camber all around. Pretty conservative but i am relatively low and like to drive the car how it was meant to be driven. Previous setup was 17x9+35 with 255 tires. If you want to run non staggered you will run out of room up front pretty quickly. 9+30 will be no problem. I believe you can go low 20s and still have no issues with some decent camber.

Im thinking about 18x10 34. Does this sound fine for both front and back? Does anyone have any pictures similar to this?

Yep its what manga is running as mentioned 10 +35 with your fenders, but going to be really tight up front. If you can run a slightly less aggressive offset for the front like +40-45, it would help save your fenders from damage when turning and tires from all the camber you will have to run. +34 will be fine for the rear assuming your doing it right with cutting out the factory quarter and trimming the added lip on the ASM fender.

Yeah it is close int he front. I test fit the 17x10 +35 with a 255 in front and it is very close. I am running a 17x9 +43 with a 245 for normal driving and will run the square setup for shows, pictures etc. We have terrible roads here and I don't want to mess up my fenders. Though with how rarely I drive the car now I could probably leave the 17x10's all around on once I get tires for them.
