Would a 17x7 +38offset(front) & 17x7 +35(rear) have a problem with fitting in with a 2inch drop? And what size tire should i run?

Are you going for something that looks good? But those wheels won't.

Those 17x7's will look terrible. If you're gonna use 962's, do it like this:

zer...tid=0

Otherwise, you fail.

Good idea. But do me a favor and consider using XXR 507's in the back...

What do you think of this setup?

17x9+35 962's Front with 20mm spacer18x9.5+35 507's Rear with 25mm spacer

In these colors on your white coupe...



With these...

Or these

Or these

And some red lug nuts. Set it up just like in that link I posted and this will be FIRE...

With my proposed setup, you'd be running 18x9.5(effective)+10 in the rear. It doesn't have to rub at all. It depends on how you set it up. You need to take these things into account:

-What tire sizes do I want to use?-Will I need to add some negative camber?-Will I need to roll and/or pull my fenders?

This is why I just said copy fourLUG_hero's setup, because he's already done the hard part about figuring it out. It's all in his very first post. Read the whole thread, he answered just about every question someone could have about his setup. It's not too hard.
