They might stick out depending on what size tire you want to run. And if you want ADR I can get you some PM me for pricing.

They say they will on the page but i dont see the this size and offset listed here, need help

It's simple math. You add or subtract and look at the pictures of wheels with similar fitment and then you get an idea of how they will fit. Like an 9.5+25 will sit in 13mm further than a 9.5+12 which is about 1/2". So you look at a picture of a car with whatever size wheels you can find and look at the tire and think about if that's how you want the wheels to fit.

Here's some pics of my new wheels, have them on for about a month, no rubbing at all. lol of course I'm on stock suspension...and yeah I know I need a drop...it's in the works!!! :) I'll have more pics shortly...in another thread somewhere, someday lol.

Wheels are Enkei RPF1 17 X 9" +35 all around with 255/40 front and 275/40 Yokohama S-drive tires. Sits pretty flush to the fender and I could go 265 F and 285 R on those same wheels, maybe later down the road.

17x9 +15 235/45/17 front
17x10 +25 255/40/17 rear

Might try out some 17x10 +12 in the rear later on, and swap the 17x10 +25 to the front.

Thanks BorHor for your advice!

didnt get a chance to drive on them cause my car was still being built at that stage n a mate borrowed them n completly curbed them on a square gutter. ill find out the offsets when i go to the shop next. have no doubt the rears would of scrubbed (hense the 4wd ride height) but was planning on widebody to fit them.

Dont know who makes the 2nd set but they were free n dont have the offsets on the rims but they are 20x8 all round 225/30, with no scrubbing what so ever. planning on going to either a 245/30 or 225/35 after the next burnout comp.

No fender roll - no rub. (Just bent the fender-well tab up to the edge of the fender lip)
