wont be flush, but it wont be awful. you should roll your fenders anyway, gives you a lot more room to work with.

You will if you run low camber... if you have stock RUCAs you probably wont need to do the rear.

Use the wheel offset calculator (you can search for it, it's also in the sticky) w/ your current wheel specs & those wheel specs. From there, you can "imagine" what the difference will be on your car.

EDITED: Oops, thought they were 17x9 all around.

i did all it said was they would sit 2.837 inches further out than the stock but i dont really have any way to tell i guess until i get some rubber on them and mount them, i was just hoping someone was running the same size and offset and could tell me about how flush they would be or post up a pic

they are arrow zauber mesh, they are 3pc jdm wheels that are discontinued. i got them shipped from japan thru memory fab. i was told they are 30mm offset but the one pictured looks like the lip is to big for a 17x9 with a 30mm offset but who knows. the guys at memory fab siad they were used on a s13 silvia for display in a shop there and they were flush, thats why i bought them for my s13 coupe. i wont have the car back for a couple months but when i get it back and get them mounted ill post up some pics.

they cant be 17x9+30 if they were flush. And that lip does look a lil too big for +30. They are very nice looking wheels tho, nice find. Maybe you will get lucky and the offset will be closer to +15 or something. Oh, and you might want to go with 205/45/17's in front, the 205/40's have such a tiny sidewall it just looks kind of funny, I ran that exact same setup before.
