your going to need a roll and maybe a slight pull depending on tire size.

^^ what tires did u run? will i need a pull in the rear? or the front?


if u ran 17x 9.5 +7 wouldnt that mean a 17x9 +17 will def fit? since its +10 higher offset and .5 narrower?

well they were 245/35/17 all around.

i rolled front and rears, then i slightly flared it .. nothing crazy.


yea it should fit with a roll, but ride height depends on tire size lol.

I run 17x9+10 in the front and 17x10+19 in the rear. The fenders have been rolled all around and dropped on Stance coilovers.

you want 5 full turns of the lugnut. 4 is the bare minimum based by design for a 12x1.5 stud
