Stock suspension, probably not. Once you start lowering it is when you have to start worrying about that.

^1g?

i'm getting 17x9 +20's and ppl are saying i should be good with a roll so thas all i'm gonna do. you didnt specify the width? but from the offsets you prob. be good w/ a roll in the rear but stock susp why would you even wanna put it on stock susp? i bought my wheels 3 months ago and i'm rolling on stock wheels waiting to save up for coils. (got wheels first cause couldnt pass up good deal)

so I get it that you're getting the 8.5/9.5" stagger...

Yes, roll your fenders, esp if you're going with a non stretch tire set up.

heres a thread I was on last week on lmgt4's, it has pics for reference.zerothread/339628

it depends on how low you set your car as well. on the stock suspention you won't have to lower. but once again it's how low you go. i have some ssr meshies on my red car they are 15x7 -5 offset with 195 55 15 tires. i had to roll the inside lip of the rear fenders cause it was rubbin. but the car is slamed. so once again it's how low you are going to take it.

I have the same set wheels. I have Stance GR+ Pro's on my S14 and I clear the fronts by about 3-5mm. As for the price..I have a feeling your paying around $1550 shipped

I'm running 225/40/18 in the front and 245/40/18 in the back. I only have the rears rolled and my exhaust is about 2-2.5" from the ground.
