OK... so FN01R-c's are on backorder till APRIL!!! At least in 17x9. So I got to thinking, I wonder if 17x10 +25 F and 17x10 +35 R with 255s, and a good roll and pull would fit? I Think SO! LMK what you all think. These should clear the coils, and if not would only need minimal spacers.

i havent been on this site in years but to come back and see the same type of questions is hilarious

i've had 17x10 +12's all around for years. wide fenders in the front and a hard roll in the back.

Anything "can" be done, its just a matter of what you are willing to do to make them fit.

I think the only issue with your proposed setup is that the +25 in front will stick out 10mm more than the +35's in the rear. Wouldn't that create something like a reverse stagger? What will that do to handling?

Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if you needed a tiny little spacer to clear coils up front.

Why not just go 17x10+25 all around with the likely neccessary 2-3mm spacer on all 4 corners to have equal offsets?
