Default 17x9 All around

I've been thinking about it but don't know what kind of issues i might face in terms or rubbling.

the wheels i plan on using is the 962 sportmax 17x9 +35mm all the way around.

tires: Falken st115 235/45/17

I am still on stock suspenstion, but plan on going with either s-techs or k-sports.

I know the rears will fit but the fronts...
I searched on the forums, but could not find any one who have attempted this.

I don't mind rolling the inside, slight streched tires or chamber. my concern is the possible rubbing on the frame and suspension, either at full turn or going over bumps and pebbles

TIA

Not sure about 17x9's since I have 17x7-42 offset.

I am sure that 10mm OTG's will fit mine, making my offset 35. I think 20mm will fit, I have almost an inch of clearance to the fender now.

But, I would venture a guess that the 235's are too large. My 215/45's are about 1/8~3/16 from rubbing the rear swingarm. Stock springs/shocks.

HTH!

A 235/45-17 tire is the same tire that's on the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. That's a really huge tire for a box. I suggest a 235/40-17 tire instead.

i have a 215/45/17 and i like how they look. they have a very light strecth to it as well. the 17x9 will fit but you have to put the camber shims and hub spacers in the back to work. now in the front i have the 17x7 and for some reason i hear sometimes when i turn the wheel like it hits the fender or the plastic. an i even think it broke the screw on the passenger side bumper while i was turning cuz now the bumper is not flush like it was.

if you get the 10mm spacer you will have to extend you studs im guessing thats why i went with the 5mm.good luck on whatever you do. keep us posted

hmm.. thanks for the input it helps a lot. I'll probably get the oneton spacer from Van eventualy

well i tell you this....when i got my rims in i put the hub spacers on and it was still hitting the rear control arm. i had to take the 5mm billet spacers i put on front and put them in the rear just so i can roll on them.. then after i bought the camber shims and that brought it out more. if you think you can put on the rims wiht out anything on then its not gonna fit...but i would like to see how it would look though.
