anyone have photos of a 17x8.5 +30 setup?
what tires would you recommend from past experiences?
do they fit pretty well? on f&f type 1's right now and I am pretty low and intend on staying that way.

thanks for the response, I'm ordering everything next weekend so that is good to know everything will fit fine, again if anyone has photos though, that'd be much appreciated

Will 18x9 +35 Enkei RPF1 clear the RL caliper? Fenders are rolled and pulled on a coupe. Lowered on Ground Controls & Koni Yellows

^Hguzman ran 18x9.5 +38 RPF01’s with 4pot Wilwoods. You may be fine, if anything you may need to space a few mm’s.

If it helps you figure anything out I am running 18x8 +38’s up front which clear my Rotora BBK. They barely clear though, there’s between 1/8” and 3/16” probably. Different wheels though.

Depends on wheel design. 18x9+33 didn't fit over my brakes till 1/8" spacers. Actually got away w/ 10 washers about 1/16" thick to go get spacers ;) only spacers at Advance Auto :(

Oh, sitting at 25.25" to the fender all around. Thinkin of droppin front to 25" leavin back up for heavy loads (like trailer).

Looks like 18x9 +35 has 9mm more clearance than 18x9.5 +38 so it should be good!!

Thanks for the offer Chris. Since they are different wheels it may not give any information

Correct OD is 215/40, I went 215/45 cause the speedo was off (and other reasons)

With 9.5 wheels you will have 1/2" more stretch than my dd, I may have been looking for 225 if I decided on those. I did go 9.0 cause there's 'minimal' rubbing, I can still steer full-lock, if there's no bumps.
