Anyone running a 9" wheel up front? It'll have -3.5* camber, so it'll tuck in and be a bit more flush... but I don't know the minimum or maximum offset I can fit a 9" wheel without it sticking out horribly or rubbing on the inside. I'm thinking around +15?

with that much camber you should be able to barely squeeze in a 235 on a 17x9 +15 with the fender rolled. you could probably go with around +20-25 and a 245 or so if you felt like you needed that much rubber in front. that should just barely clear the strut.

i have 17x9 +24 up front with 255/40/17, 1 degree of camber. the fender is super rolled, and the inside just barely clears tein flex's. with 3.5 degrees i think you'd be able to get away with stock appearing fenders (only roll the inside). heres a pic that kinda shows how much it sticks out. use your imagination to add in your camber i guess... haha

I'm currently running some 17x7 +40 Rota Grids on KYB AGXs
I was wondering what spacer would you recommend to make it flush with the fender
Also, whats the max size I could use on my Rotas? Thanx

I*am*looking*at*getting*some*wheels.**I*want*to*kn ow*if*these*offsets*will*fit.**I*also*need*to*know *the*tire*size*I*should*wrap*the*wheels*with.**I*w ould*like*at*least*a*265*for*the*rear.*
Set*1*Size :
18 x 8(front) & 18 x 9(rear)
Offset : +38mm(front) & +38mm(rear)
I think I need a spacer for the front on these
Set 2 Size :
18 x 8.5(front) & 18 x 9.5(rear)
Offset : +35mm(front) & +45mm(rear)
I really want to make these work if I can and if it will look nice.
I want them to fill the wheel wells. If rolling the fenders is needed that will be fine. I do not want to get overfender. The car is also dropped 2” front and rear. I can lift it back to stock. I want my ride to look nice. Let me know what you think hopefully I did not leave anything out.
Thank you.

17x8 +35 = very good fit, maybe run a 5mm spacer if you want super flush.
17x9 +35 + Decent fit, but run a 10 or 15 mm spacer if you want it flush. I had to bang back my exhaust shields to have them clear and stop rubbing.

So heres my final fitement
Wheels are
17 x 8 - 32 offset
17 x 9 - 32 Offset
225/45/17 on the front
245/40/17 on rear (temporary until I buy 255/40/17 KDW 2). I dont see running into any problem on the rear up to a 265/40 .. i tried putting a friends 275/40/17 with same size wheels on and they were rubbing against the mufflers of my racing beat exhaust .. even after the shield was bent. 255/40/17 will make the rears look more flush with the fender.
Here's some pictures
