I've been searchin for a couple days and found several wheel sizes but havnt found a definite answer. I've been reading that i shouldnt get 17x7 or 17x7.5 rims. Everyones been suggesting 17x8 or 9s with fender rolling and camber adjustment. Im getting some fiberglass fenders so please dont suggest fender rolling. Although i have been thinking about overfenders...

But im basically asking what will fit somewhat flush with stock fenders no rolling, including the rear. But if you must....i still am undecided with over fenders which are sold +20mm over. I dont really want to run with overfenders, but if i have to then so be it.

So recap...

17x8 or 9 w/ offset (No rolling with or w/out fiber glass overfenders)Tire sizes that are a good stretch (not too stretched)

Thanks in advance!

You will not be anywhere near flush without a good fender roll, sorry.

none of that sort will fit well...perfect fit with a roll is 17x9" +5 front (+15 w/ 10 mm spacer) & +15 rear (preferably +12)strech a 215/40 front and 235/40 rear.

then sit your car down nicely so tire meets fender. then youll be flush.you cant strech a tire on an 8"

if your scared of rolling/pulling your fenders, then why would you get over fenders? b/c to properly fit over fenders you have to cut a good section out of your rear 1/4 panels or else the over fender is useless.
