Default front offset options

as most of you know i am doing a widebody and paint and stuff so i need to rims as well the set i was looking at are 17x9 +35 offset my question is how far will these stick out in the front with the sil front end and im getting the front fenders rolled and probably a 30mm spacer for the rear would theses fit ok? im only doing maybe a 3/4 inch fender roll

17x9 +32 will not clear coilovers.

Get atleast 17x9 +20 up front if you want it flush with camber/stretched tires.

How wide is your rear widebody?

17x9 +32 in the back will look completely silly.

If you are doing wide body with 20mm fenders up front


17x9 + 0

if you are doing stock fenders up front

17x9 + 15

if you are lame

17x7 + 55

For coilover spacing.... I've got 16x8 +30 wheels with coilovers. The wheel sits about 5mm away from the spring, but the sidewall of the 225/50/16 sits about 1mm away. The tolerance is so close that loosening the strut bolts and rocking the spindle out or in is the difference betwen rubbing or not.

On the other side of the wheel, the shoulder of the 225 was barely rubbing the tabs on the fenders that hold the plastic liner on. Looking straight down over the unmodified fender, you see about 3-4mm or tire. This is with camber set at 0* on the camber plate (prob 1.5* of actual camber). If you ran a 225 on that x9 +35 wheel, the shoulder would actually be 5mm farther in the fender, with the added stretch bringing the inner sidewall 7mm farther out from the fender.

So yeah, x9 +20 would be about right on a 20mm fender with a 225-235, and you could run normal camber.

Cuban John had them on his car, Dont know if he had Coil overs or not. +20 Off set will clear coilovers, you may need a small spacer just incase. My new wheels will be +20 off set front and back staggard.
