Wheel Fitment???

Does anyone have to current xxr staggered setup? 8.25 +25 Fronts, 9.75 +25 Rears? If you do, will they fit without spacers? Fender rolling is probably going to happen either way for me but i just want to know if they fit. I feel like they would sit nice and flush without spacers, so if i need spacers I probably wont get them as i don't want a cholo poking setup. LOL. Thanks for any input ahead of time rotobros!!

You can pull off the 17x9.75's all the way around, and it would look a lot better as well. You don't need spacers for fitment reasons, you need spacers because the wheel is going to hit the suspension. you MIGHT be able to get away with a 10mm spacer, but I'd go with a 15mm spacer to be sure.

Oh and you're going to need to run stretched tires, and roll the **** out of your fenders.

here's how a 17x9.5 +15 looks with 215/40 tires, an average pull in the rear, and a fat pull up front. This is VERY similar to the set-up you want, and will probably fit exactly like this

Oh! camber as well!

in that pic, the car has max negative camber up front (-3/-4*), and probably -4/-5* in the rear
