17x9 +25 fitment question

[jiffy08]

Hi Nico! I'm planning on getting these wheels that are 17x9 +25, and I was planning on running that size all around. Would there be any clearance issues? I'm running Megan coilovers. Is pulling/rolling necessary? Also, what tire size would be best? I don't really like the stretched look. Thanks in advance! Oh yeah if you didn't already know its for an s13

you'll need a small roll. easy stuff.

235/40/17 tires.

what wheels are they?

[jiffy08]

rota p-45r they come in 4x114.3 now:)

you might want a spacer to clear suspension if you want a beefier tire since you dont want a stretch

how much of a spacer depends on tire size

i was looking at the same wheels for my s13

i was thinking the 17x9 +25 for the frontand the 17x9.5 for the rear but it only comes in +12 or +30, would the +12 be ok?

is that size too wide/big for stock fenders? thanks for input

[newdude1]

Any one have a picture of these on an s13? And do these have that "sunken" look to them?

I have the same set up as the op that why I asking about it. Not try to jack your thread or anything.

Would this size fit well on a S14?

I talked to a wheel/tire store about ordering the 17x9.5+12 and they said it will stick out a little. Actually, he asked it I was planning on using overfenders or a widbody kit...

But, I'm guessing they would only stick out about 3mm more than the 18x9.5+15, which only require a roll... I can live with that. A little fender pull ain't never hurt nobody!

i think you'll be good with them. i currently have 17x9 +20 on 235/40 all around on my s14. stuff is pretty flush. nothing sticking out. and +25 it'll be in just a little and i also have megan coils it'll clear it easy i think. on the rears i didn't have to roll it but i have a lot of camber and i think after i get rucas it would be better to roll them so i went ahead and rolled it. it'll be a good set up go for it.

well im still unsure about exactly what wheels im going to get, the rota's are my first choice but i might need to cut the wheel budget to put more into the suspension/brakes.

how about a 17x9 with +35 offset? anyone running that? how much does it stick out or will i need spacers?

fyi, 17x9+35 will NOT clear coilover suspension up front. It'll be fine in the rears though.

for you guys wondering what offsets and sizes work/ look good, don't forget the sticky up top [add to it also if you can].zerothread/265282

Speaking of which, does anyone else think $850-$900 is pricey for Rotas (i.e. knockoffs)? I know the p45r's have been in high demand since they came out in '96, but does anybody anticipate a price drop?

I've never bought a brand new set of wheels, so I'm wondering if it's even common for prices to decline a little after the rage dies down a little...?

[nismofly]

its a lot for rotas but the wheels that theyre knockoffs of are twice as much so its a take it or leave it type of deal
