it appears from your sig you have 5 lug, so why were you looking for +20? the 5 lug size is +15, and its a lot easier to find than +20

9.5's only come on 18's... would 17x9 have the concave design at all?

nope, 17x10 and 18x9.5

you could run 17x10 all around but it would start getting interesting to fit them

I see pictures all the time of 17x9 front and 17x10 rear..I dont prefer it at all. The concave to me, looks a lot better.

i've got the 17x9 +15's all the way around, all you need is a roll, im gonna get 17x10 +12's all the way around, it's gonna look bomb as hell.

there's no need to run staggered it's un necessary

Does anyone run the 17x10's (+12) and can speak about the fitment?

I'm worried about clearing coilovers, as well as fender clearance when wrapped with 275 rubber (the proper width for such a wide wheel)

I should also say, this is not a street car, the fender wells will be gutted and the sheetmetal flared, soo yeah.

the 17x10+12's will clear coilover's no problem, 275 is alot of rubber, you'd be better off w/ more like 255 or 265 max. fender's will have to be rolled and pulled alot in the rear, and the fronts will probably need wide fenders. 20 mil i think. you will probably have to stretch the rubber all the way around to get the clearance you need

K just needed to make sure they'll clear the coilovers.

fenders/quarters aren't a problem, this is for a track-only car so that kinda stuff is no big deal

i think he thought you were talking about rear, in which case youll be fine

in the fronts they wont clear, or theyll be very close

I re-read his reply and i'm not sure how you get that out of it...

never the less, if they do touch, we can do things to fix it, and if they are 'very close' thats good too. not a street car after all, only smooth pavement and rock (relatively speaking) hard springs anyway

because he said that cleared, which is does in rear but not in front

if it *does* clear, it will be VERY close

the springs have nothing to do with it...the wheel wont clear the coilover on the inside, like literally, the tire will rub on the coilover body

a 17x10 +7 would be a much easier fit than a +12, but like i said in your other thread that will require your cost to go up bigtime
