Thumbs up Lowest offset wheel to fit on rolled rear

Consider this:

I am thinking of trying a non stagerd setup for next season.

My front fenders are 40mm wider on each side then stock so I have lots of room up there.

I am planning to roll my rear fenders.


Questions:


If I were using a 17x9 wheel and a 255 tire, what would be the lowest offset I would be able to fit?

If I were using a 17x8.5 wheel with a 245 tire, what would be the lowest offset I would be able to fit?

17x9+40 would be about the limit. IIRC evasive runs that on their s2k, the white one.

amuse runs it too on their orange car. 17x9+63f, 17x9+40 rear.

diez runs 17x9.5+47. looks mean as hell. 255 tire also.

that will take more than a roll tho, will take relocating the bumper bracket, roll, and camber.

With one of my customers/buddy's car, we did a 17x9.5, 17x8.5 +40 all around. One of the most controversial wheel threads there were on this site, and we did it. Very Sexy as hell. Rolled fenders, relocated bumper tap, 245/215 stretch and slight negative camber. Works like a charm

EDIT: 255/215

The Imola Orange Amuse S2K uses 17x9 +40 offset Volk CE28N for all four wheels. In other words the offset and wheel width are non-staggered as with Evasive's and Diez's S2K. The only S2K I've heard that utilizes the 17x9 +40F +63R was the 1st version J's Racing S2K.

HyperRev issue 97 indicates that the Amuse car has 17x9 CE28N +63 in front and +40 in back.
