Okay guys, I always see 10 to 11 inches on rears but never fronts. Would 17x10.5 +15-20 something offset need too much fender modification. I know I'll need like 2-3 degrees of -camber, roll, pull, but is it worth it? Also, they will only be on the car on weekends (habit I picked up from my dad). Thanks

I'd say around a +15 to +20 and you should be able to get away with a decent roll if you stretch your tires just a tad bit (going with around 2-5 * of camber). Anything less of camber, squarer of tire and you'll need to pull your fenders.

>HAHA< I like how you said you "know" you'll need 2-3deg of camber! To fit a 10.5" wheel up front and clear your coilover, the offset will have to be no greater than 10mm, but more likely 6-7mm and below. That gives the wheel an outside distance equivalent to a 9", -13mm. I've fit up to a 9", -4mm on totally factory S13 front fenders with little tricks, and camber required was more than -3deg for sure. I've yet to see anyone do a good job fitting anything more extreme than an equivalent to 9", +0mm (and by good job, I don't mean having it stick out and look like it obviously doesn't belong), so a wheel that sticks out almost 10mm more than even the 9", -4mm wheels would not be the greatest setup
