Default Package Wheels

I was wondering when you see a site that has a set of wheels but they're all one size for example 17x9.5+40. Would you be able to safely run all four wheels without excessive modifications?

Sort of. You can run the in the rear with a fender roll and tab relo but they don't really fit the front without a lot of pulling or really stretched tires.

Stick with OEM sizes unless you have lots of time to modify the car's body. Handling will be greatly upset unless you stick with a staggered setup.

Thank you all for the info. I guess I'll just avoid the specials and buy the right wheels for the front and rear.

You can bore the center of the wheel to fit either front or rear hub. Cost is less than $200.00 to do all four thats fairly inexpensive.
