17x10 +12 up front fc?????
first off id like to say i cant do all this testing myself cuz im in afghanistan fighing "the war on terror"
so i got a few questions to ask.currently i have two 17x9+15 and four 17x10+12 rims sitting at home.i wanted to run the 17x10 on all four corners.but my friends telling me itll **** it up?any truth behind this?cuz ive seen tons of you running the same size,or wider with lower offsett? what am i looking at for problems compared to running the 17x9+15 in the front?
and for mods(on the front end) PBM coils
and mabye a knuckle mod in the future(PBM or just cut and weld)
and i plan to probably dump as low as i can go on the PBM coils(just for anyone asking)
any input would be awesome,and yes i searched,but the internet in a 3rd world country is worse than 56k!!
someone help me out so when i can get home,i can throw this **** together

I'm running 17x9.5 +15 up front atm and it's rubbing on my coils if they aren't turned to allow the rim to clear. I did have credit card spacing from the inner lip to the spring. It sucks. I have to mark my springs and perches with a sharpie. Lucky me, i've got some extended studs and 5mm slips on the way to fix this issue i'm having. So i imagine you'd be right there AT the spring, possibly shoving the rim between coils and at the very least would have to run a 5mm slip on as well. I'd throw a 7mm on just to be safe.
DK was running 17x10 fn's up front at one point but with a large spacer and 25mm over fenders iirc.
You will be fine running 17x9 +15 up front, no spacer required. PLENTY of room.

Someone pm'd me about fitment something or other. They've got the same offset and width as i do on pbm coils and he's got about 11mm more clearance than i do. My guess is, pbm coils space the knuckle away from the shock body more than my jic's do.
So anyone reading this, just a heads up. Not all front lower mounts are created equal. What works for some coilovers wont work for others.
Happy fitments!
