I did a search, but can't find anyone who actually says they HAVE 4x 17"x9" of some offset on their car. Lots of speculation/talk/ideas, but that's it. It seems that would provide the best track combo with some 265/40/17 or 275/40/17 tires on track.
Anyone actually OWN and DRIVE this setup? Opinions, observations?
Thanks

I'm running the 18x9 39+ (235) all round and after checking it would be close with 17", wider rubber, more camber with the stock suspension. I can get my hand between the rim and spring and estimate clearance to be 2" or so. there is an excelent chance it will fit std but if you want to run lots of camber maybe not
spin 9k I was going to write how 18x9 would be almost as good and compare the different buddyclub P1 QF rims (which are dam light!) as an example.
17x8 45+ 6.1kg
17x9 35+ 6.5kg
18x9 35+ 6.7kg
but I reckon 17x9 35+ would fit. it will stick out 5mm on the front but you can run some more camber. I'm sure you can find some other 17" winter wheels to compaire the 35+ to.

If there is so much inside room to shock, wouldn't a 45 or 50mm offset just fit right in there with no problem, no high neg camber?
