so i have my coilovers and now its wheel shopping time. i see every so often that people think 10in wide wheels would fit, and i guess im curious if its doable. i know someone has done 17x9.5 +30 on front and back so in theory just tweak the offset and it will work. if anything then maybe a staggered setup? most of the 17's im looking at come in x8.5 and then x10, so i wanted to see if it was at all feasible, and yet still looks good.

discuss!

 

possible! the wheels i ordered are 17x10s :D probably going to have to do some fender work

 

on a xD? what kinda offsets are they? one of my biggest worries would be the space between the struts and the wheel due to the width. fenders are easy to get rolled lol.

 

you can fit 10-11 pretty easy in the rear, we have huge fender wells.

at 9.5 +30 i had slight poke on the wheel and a couple of inches of space inside of the wheel well. will just take a fender roll, no serious modification or anything. youd use a +35 to +40 range on the offset.

fronts on the other hand..... with 9.5 +30 i had slight poke and not much more than 1/2" to an inch of space left on the suspension side.

in theory you should be able to fit a 10 up front but youre measurements are gonna have to be dead on. or you'll have some heavy poke and require front fender work, or you'll have issues clearing suspension. also keep in mind that was with coilovers. stock spring/strut assembly is a bit bulkier and would probably make the fronts even harder to fit if youre just running drop springs.

xbjames was saying he just started running a 9.5/10.5" stagger on his xD

 

looks like a test fit is in order then. its comforting to know we at least have enough space in back so buying one for testing wont bother me so bad. now i just want to make sure i buy the right one. the wheels im looking hardest at come in +20 or +30 so that may be another issue. now you have me thinking about the amount of poke, up front more-so than back. ill also be on coilovers by the time this is all being done so that will help. ah the fun of pushing limits.

 

10's are possible i ran 18x9.5+35 wheels at one point and the inner DID NOT rub
