It all depends on how much you are willing to do to make your wheels fit.

Those sizes that xX RB Xx just gave you will stick out without camber or a pull.

ha you'll def. need a rear qp fender pull for a +10 rear offset.

+17 on a 8.5 should clear w/o modification.maybe a small roll..

im running 19x8.5 +5 front and i had to space/pull/roll my front fenders

19x9.5 rear +10 and i had to roll /pull the crap out of my fenders.



my camber is near -4 degrees on both sides.

hope i helped.

it all depends on the "look" your going for.

tire size also plays a great deal into how wheels fit also.

they fit perfect on your car because you are 4x4 status, if your car were lowered they would be SUNK!!!

17x9 +12 will fit just fine under stock fenders...with a little massaging

o well what does lowering he car have to do with it. and maybe theyre going to sink in a tad. but still...theyre be far from SUNK

What is the difference between fender roll and fender pull?

my understanding is as such: roll is when the inner lip of the fender is folded or "rolled" in, a pull is when the fender is also rolled and then is flared out, sort of like fender flares.

You need to search, then ask in the technical section under wheels / tires
