Quick question for you wheel guy. What would the difference be on how the wheel sits compared to 17x9 +30 vs a 18x8 +35?

I currently have a set of 17x9 +30 on my car and am looking for something with less stretch and poke. I found a set of 18x8 +35 that I like but was wondering if that would sit the same as the 17's?

The wheels should sit in the fender about a half inch more than your more aggressive rims. In other words you would no longer have poke

Do you have any pics of your car with the 17x9 +30?

Bad pictures, all I can get right now, lol. The fronts are rolled and the rears are rolled and relocated. It doesn't rub at all as it sits now, but I want to raise it up a bit because my downpipe is literally 1 inch off the ground which is scray. lol. But I can raise it up on my current rims without it looking weird.

That's good to hear because I want something that still looks aggressive, but more functional aggressive than the hella flush aggressive.
