17x8 F & 17x9 R offsets

[hai1206vn]

I'm planning to get 17x8 +25 front and 17x9 +15 rear. Tires will be 215 or 225 front and 245 rear. Do you guys see any problem with the offsets? I want the tires to be just at or near the fender lip, rather than sticking out. Springs are Tein S-Tech, with KYB AGX. Thanks for your input.

The 17x8 fronts will be just inside the fenderwells. You realistically could do a +15 up front. The rears however are going to be just outside the fenderwells. Running a little neg. camber out back will get you where you want to be.

So a rear offset of about 25 should put it back in the fenderwell right?

This is 17x9 +20 with 225/45 in the rear. No idea what camber its running...

Dayum!! Thats a +20?Does having the Z32 brakes in the rear change anything at all? I run +27 out back with a 245/40 and my wheels sit just a hair to the outside @ zero camber. I normally run about 2* and that brings the tire to the inside just enough to clear the lip. I run a 1 3/4" fender gap as well.

And yes, a +25 should get you back inside the fenderwell. Apperantly there is something wrong with MY car....

With your wider tires and slightly higher offset, your setup (in terms of fender clearance) would be nearly identical to the pics. Of course, it depends on camber too, but Z brakes shouldnt affect where the wheel/tires sits...
