I did a member search of people who listed 17x8.5 as their wheel size and found a couple profiles.
which is a good thing because thats the size wheel i plan on ordering soon.
I was hoping I could get a few pics of how your wheels fit in the fenders and what offset your running.
Also do you experience any rubbing when turning? how are they to drive on? ect. Thanks guys.

been diggin' theses lately.

What about 17x8.5 56 offset and using a 25mm spacer? Gives you a 31 offset then roll the fenders.

From my measurements, the wheel will sit pretty much even with the fender. Which would require me to use a slightly stretched tire and possibly fold out the fender a bit. I am pretty positive though that the tires will not hit the suspension.



Also, what about 16x8 with 25mm offset.

Obviously I can make any of these fit by stretching the fenders. But how close will they be without stretching.
