well after some thinking i think the +35mm and the 275s will rip out my fender liners under compression.

so i'll probably just do the +25mm and be done with it

then work on getting them to fit under the fenders....

j/k <maybe>

Looks good, actually. Function > Form. Good luck!

assuming function doesn't break something else

i've got some thinking, number crunching to do, we'll see.

maybe i should make some aluminium liners that are further out of the way....

Are you planning on running those in AS or BSP?

17x10s aren't legal in AS

I'll be either in BSP, SM, or FP this year depending on what i decide to do with my fenders.

you couldn't run those without coilovers (FYI).

Hehe , that was a joke

Coming from the rally scene , I know sometime it's difficult to get a large tires setup without rubbing on the fenders or having the right offset due to coil overs . Your car must be glued to the road now

i havn't ran with those wheels and tires yet.

i have to figure a few things out.

teh clap,

I've been running this setup for about 7 events now. What rates do you have in the front? I have 700 lb springs and I am very close to rubbing fender on tire in some corners. If you are on off the shelf kw rates my guess is you will rub fender. Also, you might want to drop a bit of camber in the rear to promote some rotation but you can figure that out to suit your driving. I just got some 315/35R17 Hoosiers to run at valdosta. I'll let you all know how well massive hoosiers and lots of vf39 boost do against some real competition next month.

I plan on upgrading to 9/8 springs later in the year.

I don't own these wheel, i was just test fitting.

I have a feeling the 17x9 makes the most sense right now, and when i do get the stiffer springs i'll do the 17x10s and make the 17x9s for track duty.

plus I may have added front fender clearance in the near future

i had a friend test fit some of those hoosiers and they didn't fit with his 17x10 CCWs.
